EZ Steer Stability Question

[kerr88]

Been triking for several years, on my 2nd trike. Just installed EZ steer for the first time and find it takes some getting used to. Feel like trike really dips to the outside even, now, on seeming straight-aways. Find myself leaning toward the center line to feel balanced. When on level ground (i.e., garage floor) the trike looks fine. So, I don't think its a suspension problem. Anyway, I'm I crazy or is it that I just need to get used to EZ steer?

Out of maybe 500 ez steers installed I have never seen this as a Ez steer problem. Trikes rear ends can make it trail to the left of right and it is always possible that it's the front end. I love EZ steers would not have a trike with out one.

So first thing? Check the alignment or the rear and Inspect forks and tires and take it from there. ThumbUp

Suggest checking the air in the rear tires, low air in one will cause trike to pull the direction of the low tire.

Our 06 GW CSC felt like it wanted to push to the outside of a left hand curve. I figured it was just me not pushing and pulling correctly. Took the time on my last oil change to check the camber and found the left tire was leaning in about 3/8". Fixed the camber problem and eliminated the push. Might be related to what you are experiencing. Good luck.

Have EZ Steer and know the sensation you are talking about. Recently bought a hand pump and inflated our front shocks from 0 to 4 psi. Seems to take the highway ramps much better with less lean. Anxious to drive more to see if my first impression is correct.

also
check that all of the brake calipers are releasing;
most trikes has a residual pressure valve that will hold slight caliper pressure and should not promote the problems you described.

Also, don't forget the crown in the road which will cause the trike to pull.
