IMC TRIKE

Air Pressure

I'm completely new to Trikes. I have a 2005 Yamaha Road Star converted to an IMC Trike . First , WOW does this take a LOT of Muscle to Steer in curves and corners !!! I know the Trail needs Modified , but not sure which way to go. Second , I have NO IDEA what to set my Tire Air Pressure at ? Should my front legs be filled with a lower viscosity oil to soften the ride ? I know the 4 rear shocks are set way to Stiff. I live 1 mile down a DIRT-ROCK road and can not drive slow enough to keep from RATTLING my teeth !

Chuck, try 22-24 psi in the rear tires, also talk with your mechanic about raked triple trees for your steering
