WHEELS AND TIRES
Having properly inflated tires is essential to a comfortable and safe ride. The tire pressures on
your unit should be checked before each use, this includes both the front and rear tires. Motor Trike
recommends 24 PSI (166 KPa) for the rear tires. Follow the front tire air pressure recommendations
provided by the motorcycle manufacturer. Improper tire inflation can result in a drastic change in
handling characteristics including but not limited to head shake, vibration, increased body roll, and a stiff
ride. Improper tire inflation can also lead to a tire blow out. Check your tire pressure before you go on
every ride.
Improper tire and wheel balancing can result in vibrations at any speeds. To prolong the life of
your tires, it is suggested to have the tires and wheels balanced every 12,000 miles. Tire maintenance and
replacement are vital to your vehicle’s performance. If you are experiencing uneven or improper tire
wear, the alignment needs to be checked at your local Motor Trike dealer. To ensure safety, performance,
and reliability, Motor Trike does NOT recommend changing the tire or wheel sizes. The rear lug nuts
should be torqued to 85 ft-lbs every 3,000 miles.
AIR SUSPENSION PRESSURE
Be sure to check that your suspension air pressure is within the recommended range before and
during every ride.
