    Do you perchance have new tire(s) with a more aggressive tread like my Kenda Kruz? Unless I've mis-diagnosed my howling noise (which started with the new tire install), it's something to think about.

    I run a set of Kruz's and I love them. I think they're great in the wet. A little bit noisy in the corners because of the aggressive tread but I would buy them again...in fact I had the same set-up on my Virago.

    How much fuel is left in the tank when the last bar on the gauge goes away?? The knob for the reserve valve on mine was broken off when I bought her so I don't know if it's set to reserve or not.

    What about the Yamaha Super Tenere??

    I agree with Jeff about Gorilla glue...plus it gets quite hard and possibly brittle.

    Hey Paysaw...where in Misterssauga are you? I would live to get a closer look at that footboard/brake pedal set-up. Is that aftermarket or homemade? Looks exactly like what I want to do.

    The problem, I'm sorry to say is that trikes with one front and two rear wheel configuration are just not stable when cornering. This is not an opinion, it's physics. When cornering a trike, the forward momentum moves most of the weight of the machine and most all the weight of the rider to the outside of the front wheel opposite to the direction of the turn. I'm not saying you all should give up your trikes...I'm just saying be aware.

    You don't really know how long you were running like that. May have just happened...I agree with others here...you may have very little damage. Check her out before you give up on her.

    female pond monsters that would really get her....

    I don't want to sound uppity and don't consider myself an expert rider or anything but these videos and long drawn out explanations on how to use counter steering kinda make me chuckle. I guarantee that anyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle over about 15 klicks per hour (just picking a number here so don't quote me on that part) HAS used counter steering. Many have done it without realizing. I challenge anyone to steer a bike which is moving even at lower speeds without using counter steer...it's as natural as breathing. You don't have to think about it to be doing it. When a buddy explained counter steer to me about 30 years ago I thought he was full of __it. Then I got on my bike and realized when I consciously used this method that I indeed had been using counter steer all the time...I tried turning the bars to move the front wheel in the direction of the turn and the OPPOSITE happened. It's simple physics...the gyroscopic effect on the front wheel makes it want to lay down in the direction opposite to that of the handle bar. Ok, now that I have that off my chest, I feel better.
