#1- You dont ride a Tri-Glide!
#2- The reason that your reverse works rain or shine is because:
You Dont Have No Stinken Reverse; you use your feet!

Do you know if the 010's triglide has an easier pull clutch than the 09's?

After i broke down due to reverse problem, the dealer disconnect unit under the seat by disconnecting a wire from battery and taping it off. I cant remember which major wire it was. I dont have the electrical diagrams to determine which major wire. I was able to use triglide after this change aand i did not worry about the reverse problem. This was done so no more oohhhhhhs.
Maybe someone else in the group has this information.

I hope you are right. I had ridden several times in down pours without an issue. I thought I was not going to have this problem. My problem did not occur while riding in the rain but some time afterwards. I came home from a trip which I rode several days in the rain. I cleaned the TG and it sat for about 6 days before I rode it. My wife and I left the house and within 1/2 mile the reverse tried to engage. Go figure.

Y'all are making me nervous. The misses is practicing with her brand new out of the box SG Trike, she stops, puts it in Neutral, engages reverse, hits the button, and as soon as she starts backing up the radio comes on.
Odd, so she turns the radio off, does another circle in the parking lot, goes through the same procedure, and sure enough the radio comes on again.
It now happens every time she goes into reverse. At first I thought this was funny, now I'm not laughing. The stealership is getting her trike real soon for a fix.
