I am new to the site, and learning something about navigation of the space. Already, I have found a lot of interesting, and hopefully valueable information here. Just purchased a VTX1300S Motor Trike conversion about a month ago, and learning about the bike/trike each day. It had only 5700 miles on the odometer.
Found the link to the service manual, now looking for the operators or owners manual. The bike is a 2006 1300s. Having some weird rattling and vibration an lower speeds, which will disappear for a second if the handlebars are moved just slightly. Only occurs when road slants to the right. Also, I can shift my body weight (which is about 165 pounds) to the left, and the vibration and rattling ceases as well. Seems to bo OK at higher speeds, but, I don't like sounding like a chuck wagon around town.
Had the trike conversion looked at by a local Motortrike dealer, he found no problems, just a loose bolt on the underside there.
Any trike-sters out there would welcome your suggestions.
Hoping to link up with other riders for info and ideas.
