If your trike has a “threadless” stem (fig. 6) your
dealer may be able to change handlebar height by
moving height adjustment spacers from below the
stem to above the stem, or vice versa. Otherwise, you’ll
have to get a stem of different length or rise. Consult
your dealer. Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it
requires special knowledge.
If your trike has a “quill” stem (fig. 7) you can ask
your dealer to adjust the handlebar height a bit by
adjusting stem height.
Some Trikes are equipped with an adjustable angle stem. If your Trike has an adjustable
angle stem, ask your dealer to show you how to adjust if. Do not attempt to make the
adjustment yourself, as changing stem angle may also require adjustments to the
Trike’s controls.
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts
that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose
can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of
the bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
Your dealer or local bike mechanic can also change the angle of the handlebar or bar
end extensions.
WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem clamp bolt, handlebar
clamp bolt or bar end extension clamping bolt may compromise
steering action, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place
the front wheel of the Trike between your legs and attempt to twist
the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation
to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or
turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts
are insufficiently tightened.
D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and throttle control levers and their position on the handlebars
can be changed they can also be swapped to suit left or right handed use by a bike
mechanic or dealer upon request. If you choose to make your own control lever angle
adjustment, be sure to re- tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is
to have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can be
applied within available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel
insufficient to apply full braking power can result in loss of control,
which
may result in serious injury or death.
