Took the trike out for a little ride yesterday. Though I certainly know better, I had not checked the tire pressure since buying it. Having sat for about a year before I purchased it, I knew better. So I checked the tire pressure before taking it out yesterday and all three were VERY low. Rear tires had about 14 lbs in them and the front about 24 lbs. Aired them up to the proper recommendations and it was amazing how much better it handled. Even the vast majority of the headshake that I had experienced was gone. I was cruising happily down the road when I started loosing power. A quick glance at the gas gauge showed that I was on empty. Having gotten used to fuel injection, I momentarily forgot that I had a "reserve". I hadn't ever used the aux tank before so I just reached over and hit the switch and waited as the bars increased on my gas gauge. I never had to pull over, the bike almost immediately regained power and I continued riding and let it fill from the aux tank until it was about 1 bar from full. I know that you can overflow the main tank if you don't pay attention. It worked amazingly well and I am very happy with it. Otherwise, it was a short but enjoyable ride.

like Mike said, 40-42 in the front, 22 rear.

I think what you could be looking for is my plug N play by pass ignition harness. It redirects the power thru a relay instead of across all the contacts in the switch.

That’s why I used one like this, didn’t want to deal with dead batteries in the receiver or phone. I changed to the bluestreak to integrate phone calls into the system. It was $10 back then

Just got my new tires in, now I have a reason to go ahead and get them changed.

You wont overfill the tank if you wait until you only have 1 bar on the fuel gauge. That's what I do and I often forget about it. The bike will start sputtering when the aux. tank is empty. Turn the pump off and keep on riding. I run 40psi up front and 22psi rear.

Good to hear and hope you enjoy it for many years!!!

No, I did not and that's a good point. I'll try it later but I know that it handles much better with air in the tires.

Did you have the wife on board? the last time you had the bad head shake she was with you so that could have made a difference and no you don't have to tell her I said that. My in-laws trike does it mainly after hitting a bump at slow speeds but I think it's his front tire

Yes you can use both front calipers. @skydoc_17sells a complete delink kit to solve all the problems. He’s gone on vacation right now, he has a new grandson, but can fix you up.
