    Hi,

    I bought a 2018 Goldwing trike last year and drove it for most of last year untill November when it went down for its winter nap.

    The trike drove great with the rear seemingly equal (how much the rear seemed to give in a left or right turn).

    Now this year the rear seems to give more in a left turn than a right turn.

    I know i'm probably not saying this right but when I turn left at speed the right side rear body seems to give to where it feels like its giving more than when i turn right.

    Clear as mud? last year when going into a turn left or right the body did not give or lower and seem to turn on rails.

    Don't know if this is normal or not. do you think it is something that I should have my dealer look at?

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks,

    Al

    Al what conversion on your GW? Depending, one of the shocks may have gotten weaker than the other.

    Al, since you posted this in the CSC section, I assume that is the trike you have. I, too had the same issue/feeling last year. I spoke with the good folks at CSC and they gave me the straight scoop. Told me it was not something I expected or probably wanted to hear. Everything being correct with no worn out or broken parts and tire pressures even, it was all in my head. Really. Turning one direction seems easier and more stable depending upon if you're right or left handed. For a long time I thought turning left was better for me. Then I concentrated on my riding technique and it became better turning right. Go figure. Your 2018 CSC has independent suspension with one shock absorber between the upper A-arms so the pressure is the same for both sides providing nothing is broken. Good luck..... Jim

    Just a suggestion here:

    try adding two or three more lbs of air in your left rear tire only ..... That's because of the "crown" in the roads (not sure what crown means either/but that how my builder explained it to me)

    Thanks guys,

    I will take a look at my bike to make sure nothing is broke i don't think so but i'll look.

    I do have a CSC trike.

    i'll watch my driving to see if i'm pushing more to one side than the other, who knows?

    I'll also try the air pressure thing to see if that does anything.

    Thanks again,

    Al

    Now I don't have a 2018 but a 2007 that was converted in 2016 to a Viper. I had a similar problem especially when turning left. It would show up in sweepers and twisties and I had the feeling that it might flip over. When this would happen, I would slow way down and then accelerate back on the straightaway. Min turned out to be the rear Ohstu tires that came with the conversion. Not sure what the problem was but CSC agreed to replace the tear tires. I ended up using a local tire place and having Goodyear tires installed. I did have to take the wheels off in my garage and just bring them to the shop but the new tires completely cured the off feeling.

    I am thinking its the tires myself. How did anyone know it was the tires?

    Is there something I can look at or someone else can look at to determine that it is the tires?

    Thanks,

    Swap your tires from left to right side and see if the problem you are experiencing changes from one side to the other..... Jim

    The crown of the road is the way the road is sloped [High-side] so as to drain water [Rain] off to the side's of the road so it doesn't puddle....Its really noticeable on a single rear wheel trike....Spyder or Slingshot...It gives you if you have too tight a grip on the handlebars...IE; The tail wagging the dog sensation..

    I agree about the crown of the road it effects the tires on a two wheeled bike too.

    One of the reasons I think it might be the tires is that the bike also feels the same way on a flat parking lot.

    If I swap the tires and the same happens for a right turn, is that enough to go to CSC about it or would it take some kind of physical defect you can see?
