Which diff is best for a bike trike? My last trike was a Suzuki 850 ,I was told the axle was either a Suzuki swift or SJ 410 ,what ever it was it scared the ****e out of me!
Going round bends at 70 was not pleasant,even on gentle dual carriageway bends (freeways to Americans) the awkward heap of junk wanted to visit the other side of the road ! Took a lot of effort and slowing down to get it at steer away from the central barrier..okay it still had normal front tyre and comparatively narrow bars.
I don't remember my Yamaha trike being that bad but it was twenty years ago.
Found out later the previous owner of the Suzy came off the thing and died !
Now the question is ,what type of diff gives lighter steering?
I always thought limited slip was invented to allow the outside wheel to turn faster in a bend than the inner ,thus facilitating the turn and reducing wear on the tyres. So I figured it'd allow quicker steering ? Am I wrong. Any advice welcome.
