Avon Cobra Trike Front Tire Pressure

[jredman]

Got a little over 12,000 miles with my Cobra and that was running 38-39 cold. Only about 1600 miles of that was in twisties

I am at 17,500 right now and just ordered a new one. Down to the wear bars. I think I got about 20K on my first one. Not sure why this one did not get as many. I run 40 lbs cold. Will give 38 lbs cold a shot. Probably there anyway.

I run 41 lbs cold usually, but 38-39 seems reasonable enough.

38psi with summer air that expands 2 lbs more than winter air.

I also have the Traxxion AK-20 cartridges and Traxxion springs. At 41 psi the sharp bumps are rough so I've thought about dropping the pressure to 38 psi. I may give it a try.

Thanks for the info.

Is there a way to tell if Traxxion cartridges and springs have been installed without disassembly? We bought my bride's 2010 GW w/ CSC kit last year. It was on consignment and we got very little info from the previous owner. Thanks.

what's a good pressure with the Honda springs? I'm at 36 psi and it still feel like the forks are to hard/stiff

You may want to investigate your ADV valve then on left fork. It's possible that it could be stuck in the active position and that would explain a harsh stiff feeling.
