Hello DaceC,
Thanks for the welcome.
I would have kept my Shadow but had no space to store it. Besides, the money is helping pay for my scoot. The Cyclone did arrive Wednesday as promised and the crate was in good condition, Scooter also appeared to be in good condition. So I got crazy, installed wheels, charged battery, did what needed to be done and hit the starter. Engine cranked a few seconds and fired up. pushed out to the street and rode around the neighborhood. Really felt good after reading several horror stories about their 1st start-up. Now I have some questions: I noticed a small shimmy from the front wheel. Seemed to smooth our as I gained some speed ( approximately 25 mph). Reappears as I slow down. All total, I was riding about 3 min. so it was not a fair shake down. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences that they corrected or does this sound normal?
Since this is a 2013, does anyone feel it is necessary to remove all the plastic and locktite everything I see? does anyone have any other suggestions about what I should do with this trike? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. once all is done, this will be my 2nd car. Thank you in advance.
