Aero 750 Motor Trike Suspension Adjustments

[skuuter]

Any other Honda Aero 750 Trikes here from Motor Trike ? Just curious about Your favorite Set-ups. Been Ridin'/Tinkerin' with the Wife's Trike this week....right now I've settled on:

Air Shocks: 20 lbs air

Rear Tires: 20 lbs air

Front Tire: 38 lbs air

Coilovers: One adjustment above the softest

I "assume" there aren't a lot of these Trikes on here, but would appreciate Your opinions if possible.....THANKS...:wtg:

Well skutter, I'm picking up one of these for my daughter this weekend in KC. We're riding 600 mi. two-up on my HD trike, and Reenie will ride the Honda back home. To start out, I'll surely use those numbers of yours! Thanks!

Great...we can compare notes later if you decide to "re-adjust"....

For the past year I've been happy to run 22-24 lbs of AP in the rear tires with 41 lbs of AP up front. After 17K miles the rear tires are just beginning to show signs of wear. I changed out the factory front tire 10K miles ago and it looks like it's good for another 10K.

I normally run 30 lbs of pressure in the airbags since I have a heavy trailer hitch for my hitch rack plus I have about 20 pounds of "stuff" in the trunk. When GF is aboard I run the AP up to 45 pounds.

When I add the hitch rack I boost it from 30 to 40 lbs. If the trunk were to be empty and no trailer hitch (like it was when I got it last year), I found 30 pounds of AP to be too stiff. I found the rear end would "bounce" instead of roll. And that and sometimes cause the rear end to "slam" when returning to earth and cause the air bags to deflate.
