Hello everybody,

Just got hold of an NTV600 Trike and NTV650 Bike ( in bits )

Looking forward to getting some Miles under belt before too long

( both currently sorn )

nice to find a forum that is dedicated to these bikes.... also i can honestly say that after searching the the Web that i have not found anyone with a bad word to say about these machines.... which makes me want to go out and about now.

Cheers in advance for anyone answering my stupid questions that i am going to ask

Yeah.. no problem about the picture... i think it was rather big....

anyway... a bit more about the Trike....

I won the trike and bike on Ebay a couple of months ago, no v5 for the trike but the owner had the green slip ( just never applied for the V5 ) so i now have the V5 in my name for both the trike and the bike.

Trike is currently at a relative house until i sell my kitcar ( to make way for the trike....

The trike was originally a 600 NTV but has had the engine swapped with the bike to a 650..( but is supposed to be restricted... no idea why ) but she starts and run smoothly.

needs some bits doing to get it through a MOT , rear lights on the mudguards are broken, cable for the rear break hits the side pannel ( needs changing to a rod )

all i can really see... will probably need a service as well.

with regards to the bike... all in bits.. have put the forks back on and the tank and seat + the rear wheel, so i can wheel this about is required. engine is on the bench and is my toy to play with until i get the trike home.

But... the bolt that covers the crank nut had been glued in and cannot be removed. ( now i have butchered it so need a new pannel... which i got from e-may for a tenner )
Engine turns over o.k. but hand.. and in each gear will turn... unable to do a compression test on the engine as my tester does not fit the plug thread

when i get the cover i will fill with oil and turn over on the starter motor... see whats what.

cannot wait to get this trike on the road.

will post some more photo's as soon as i get a chance to get round and see the trike... i will also remember to make the pictures smaller

Welcome to the board, enjoy

About the Bolt that covers the Crank nut..... Do you mean the little plug that covers the end of the crankshaft? (the bit you would use to turn it when checking the timing?) If so....it wasn't glued....it is fused stuck. Mine is too....I didn't bother with it....after a few minutes I gave up and just turned the wheel....(the back tyre that is)
Don't forget to take out the sparkplugs though...unless you are superman...
The problem is that it's aluminium....and when it gets too old/hot it fuses...

[yellowmelos]

yeah.. that bolt.... i have now buggered the bolt completely buggered the middle of the nut trying to get it out, and it also has a slot and a hole in it

but found one on ebay for a tenner.. so wont grumble... all a learning curve this !!!!
