Here's a very inexpensive removable backrest you can make. Find a soft-sided cooler for carrying drinks. Dimensions 12" by 12" by 16" (a long box shape), costs...
Hi Doug, Was reading your posting and something struck me so I had to respond to ask opinion and advise. I'm a new Helix rider...I used to ride motorcycles...
Yup, I gotta agree with you Lenny, that backrest REALLY makes the Helix live up to it's various nick-names...."Couch on wheels"..."Stretch Limo"...."Barco...
Susan, A strange thing has happened. When I checked the sprocket and clutch nuts, all I did was looked, because they were so tight ,I couldn't get them...
Tom, I've read on this site some advice from a couple of people. It was to "step hard on the brake, rev the engine up about half throttle for about 3 seconds...

Susan, I have just joined this discussion group and had not heard of the clutch dust fix you described( guess I need to read past posts). I would think that...
Hi Karl, Does the clutch or sprocket assembly contain any left thread nuts? I tried to remove the outer nut on the clutch and it was so tight, that I was...

The clutch nut is an ordinary right hand thread. The trick is holding the clutch still. Thats where that spanner tool comes in handy. The book that I have is a...
Yes, please get a manual. BUT, as far as "special" tools, I personally do not own any. I use an air impact wrench and I have never had any problems. I have...
I'm glad to hear your opinion Mike, but the spanner wrench is only 20 or 30 dollars. Certainly cheaper then buying a compresser and impact driver. And what...
I made a mistake when I said I was disappointed in my Chiltons manual for my ATV. It is a Clymers manual (not Chiltons), but I am sure the original factory...
I used my air impact( the same one I use to torque the Budd wheels on my bus) and still could not get the clutch nut loose. It was difficult to keep the clutch...

George, My point is that a back rest will enable you to stop pulling on the handle bars and allow the Helix to react to the wind gusts on its own without the...
I used an air impact tool, a large breaker bar, propane torch and nothing would remove the nut. I finally had to grind the nut down with a small angle grinder...
Recent tire-changing stories inspired me to replace my ancient, cracking Dunlops and order new Bridgestone ML tires (17/16 f/r) from Tires Unlimited for $94...
