5.14 First Service
We recommend a first service on your trike after
approximately 500 miles (800km) or 6 months
after purchase. Your dealer should be able to
do this for you if you are not confident to do it
yourself.
During the first few weeks of riding parts of the
trike tend to work their way loose and out of
alignment. This can lead to the trike performing
sub-optimally leading to undue wear.
The first service is more of a safety check than
anything. Check the torque of the major safety
related fastenings (bars / stem / frame clamps
etc.) check the indexing of gears front and
rear (cables stretch initially), and check brake
clearances, see if wheels are still true and
evenly tensioned. Adjust if required.
It is vitally important that you keep your trike well
maintained. A well maintained trike performs
at its best and is a pleasure to ride and also
ensures that your components last longer.
