Roadsmith recommendation 41PSI Front / Bias Ply Reversed
26-28 PSI Rear depending on weight...

Depending on tire do the water on concrete test: In a dry area wet the concrete in front of your rear tire, not a puddle but wet, roll the trike forward thru the wet area and notice the pattern it leaves and the wet area on the tire. If its only wet in the center its over-inflated. If its wet all across the tire its the correct pressure... Just FYI

In rain I usually reduce front pressure by 5 Psi... FYI

Now I just need a starting point to adjust the rear end in the first place. Can I or should I adjust the load while setting on the bike or with it on the center stand. Remember I have not triked it as yet. Darn -it!!:gah:

Okay, I still am not sure whether I am suppose to adjust the pressure while on the center stand or while siting on the bike with it upright?:gah:

Any help here would be appreciated, Thanks.

What's right for you is different for someone else. I would say start with the air low (10psi) and go ride, pull over and in neutral move it up to (20psi) and so on til you find your spot, if you ride two up make sure both are on the bike / trike and do the same. Its all on you, no one can tell you how it should be set, its seat of the pants - feel!! You'll be riding enough to do all this learning to ride a trike and not lean anymore. Just take a little notepad with you so you can take note of the settings you like, I keep my pad in the dash compartment for easy access as I also tow a trailer which is also different.. just take you time and take notes. You'll figure it out Normin.... good luck!!

Thanks SolidBob, I think, by golly:laugh:, that I can handle that method. epper:YEP! It gives me the place to start that I wasa wondering about. I really don't know why I did not think of that. I guess I was just concerned that I might do something to the bike I wasn't supposed to.
