My comfort point is with the adjustment screw completely backed out. Would be sitting too straight up with a nut on there.

Very sad to hear this news. Our condolences to you and your family. Prayers being sent.... -
Use Mobil 1 in our car and truck. Will consider Mobil 1 Racing 4T when I return from Florida. Will stay with synthetic now that I made the change.

Not recommending this, but telling you what I did. Was using Yamalube 10W40 dino oil. Put SeaFoam in my crankcase, drove a few miles and did an oil and filter change with same Yamalube. Oil was black. Drove another 15 miles and changed oil and filter again. Oil was black again. This time used Shell Rotella SYN 5W40. Bike seems to run fine. Have ridden locally and never noticed any clutch slip. Oil is staying an amber color. Going to Lancaster, PA this weekend and Key West, FL the following week. Will let you know.

Rick and Shirley, You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Guess our installer did a pretty good job. Speedometer is right on the money and cruise control works fine. The only real issue we had is the auxilliary fuel pump did not transfer fuel initially. Installer corrected this without too much difficulty, and we were all set.

Huh, learn something every day........

When a potential juror was asked if the defendant or police officers are more truthful, this person quickly burst out, "the police"! Excused.....

Very enlightening pics........ Thanks!

Jeff, Please do. My rear pads are squeaky, and I'm not too crazy about them. They do stop well. It is mainly an image thing.

Thanks Jeff! Sounds like your trike is getting lots of tender care.....

Wow! No wonder our trike was giving me whiplash on the way home from the Yamaha dealer....... Front tire pressure: 38 psi Rear tire pressures: 47 psi Rear tire max pressure rating: 44 psi Hannigan Motorsports Official Policy regarding Tire Pressures (psi) per Jim Gooch-Chief Trike Tech HMS Front: 38-41 psi Rear: 26-30 psi Changed tire pressures to: Front: 40 psi Left rear: 28 psi Right rear: 30 psi (to correct for crown of road) Set front fork pressures to 3 psi. Will go for a ride after lunch. Crazy....... http://www.venturers.org/Forum/images/smilies/speechless-smiley-004.gif

Nice pics....... Thanks Jeff!

SS payments are higher if retirement is postponed, but money will have less purchasing power if you wait. There are complex dynamics in play. Besides, when you get very old, a nursing home make take it all away.

Like the looks of that rear tire, and the price is good too. May try it next time. Hopefully, that will be a long ways off.... http://www.compacc.com/p/Michelin-Commander-2-Tires-Rear

Don't have enough experience yet. Folks on the trike forum do it all the time, and they are mainly looking for longer mileage. Will be driving 3,000 miles at the end of this month, so will know more after this trip. Trikes don't lean, so they use the center of the front tire. The center of the Avon tire is smooth with occasional slashes to divert water. There are no tracking treads, so there is no pull by cracks and defects in the road. Sense that tire may sometimes get lost without tracking treads, but this is not a big issue since trike must be steered constantly anyway. Rear tire has a 77 load rating, so the sidewalls are stiffer. The front end was very stiff when I drove home from the dealer. Installer had talked about inflating tire to 42 psi, which may be okay when two up and a trailer. Need to check what he did. Hannigan says front can be as low as 38 psi. Also have the front shocks set at 4 psi. So can also soften the front shocks. There is absolutely no head shake with our trike, just a stiff response to bumps. Will have to make adjustments before my trip. In addition to the increase in the tire load rating from 71 to 77, the tread depth went from 9/32" to 11/32" and the belt construction is better. Told the Avon Venom is not a hard tire, so jury is out on the mileage we will get. Of course, a softer tire provides better traction. Hannigan representative says I made a good choice. Time will tell.

Have black walled tires on our '09 RSV Hannigan trike. Rear tires are the original OEM tires. Recently replaced the front tire. Front is Avon Venom Am42 rear tire, 150/80B16 77H, mounted backwards. Rears are Kumho P195/60R15 87T radials made in Vietnam, can you imagine......

A friend of mine put white walled tires on his '09 RSV Hannigan trike. ============================================== Leo I'm using Dunlop Cruisemax rear tire for the front. It is the same size that come with the Venture. 150/90H-15 If the guys are talking about white walls for the Venture the only brand that has both front and rear white walls is Dunlop D404. These are not the soft tread tires. They are ok tires. They are not the best. I couldn't find any other manufacturer that carried both size tires. Most of them carried only one. (The front) I used the dunlop because the tread is hard and it wear better in the heat in Texas. The soft tread tires like Metzler wear out too fast in the heat. I used BF Goodrich Radial for the rear tires. The rim size is Custom Mag Wheels 15x7 with 4x100mm bolt pattern 39mm offset. The tire size is P185/65R 15 The links below are for the BF Goodrich Radial classic white walls and regular Dunlop D404 front and rear Whitel Walls. I hope this help Leo.

Too late, retired!

Key West is first of four trips we have planned. Hope we are not broke after the first trip.

Hi Joe, Yes, I too need to watch my spending to stretch our M/C adventures. Have a lot of riding planned for this year, because I'm afraid gas prices will only get worse with time. The global demand for oil is increasing at a rapid rate, and expect that more and more American and Canadian oil will be going to the far east. Bad for us.....

Fellow triker put white walls on his RSV trike. They look nice.

I see you are filling out your states visited map. Good for you! Of course, I should talk. We have a few rides planned too in addition to our Florida Keys ride, around Maggie Valley, Pittsburg, and White Mountains. Let the good times roll!
