Greenspeed Anura RL Trike with squeaking drive shaft   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #246 of 438 |
I have a 5 week old trike with about 300 miles so far. There is this
squeaking sound which comes from the shaft frame tube area on the
freewheel side. I figured it must be the bearing seals which would be
on the outside near the brake disc and inside by the
freewheel/differential. I used some Phil's tenacious oil on the end of
a spatula and carefully wiped it into the crack. This will silence it
for about 6 miles then it gradually comes back. Sometimes when I'm
riding longer it will go away, like if the temp is in the 90's. I'm
wondering if other owners have had this experience. I'm quite a few
miles away from the dealer and they haven't had this apart, at least
the mechanic I spoke with said these are too new to him. I mentioned
the seals and he said yes and only a drop was necessary. Should I just
let it wear-in?

After 10 weeks of riding I think the problem is solved. I took both drive shafts off and wiped up all the oil that was dripped in and then rubbed a good grease...
