Newbie question

[FlaWinger48]

I am considering the purchase of an '03 Gl 1800 with an '06 CSC conversion. I didn't check the air pressure in the tire before I rode, but I did notice a significant pull to the right at all speeds. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

Does your road have a large crown, if so, this may be the reason. Also, check your air pressures on your rear tires. Normal are 22 PSI rear and 41 PSI, if you are running a reverse rear tire on the front.
Some people in the South, because of the crown on the road, vary their rear tire pressures, you may want to ask if they can tell you the pressures they run.
Unless there is something wrong with your suspention, which is a completely different story.
Good luck!

WELCOME to TRIKE TALK, and yes, check Your Tire Pressures. Trikes are a lot more sensitive to air pressures than 2-Wheelers in the handling arena.....ThumbUp

My Trike runs best at 36 front and 26 rear. Welcome to Trike Talk from Illinois.

MPA with 41 PSI forward rotation rear 25 PSI holds a good line on most SC roads . Welcome to TT.

No it's not normal for a trike to pull to the left or right. The first thing would be to check tire pressure. After that check all the linkage underneith the trike to see if anything is loose or out of ajustment. If the trike has very many miles on it I would say it's only tire pressure. Hope this helps.
