    Default Like A Totally Different Tryke

    I finally got around to watching some of the videos here, and giving the Owners Manual a third read.

    I decided to add some air to my rear suspension and dial the preloads on my front springs to 5. Man, what a difference. Much less body roll, with no diving in the corners. I had a blast driving through the canyon to Cook's Corner this afternoon.

    Thanks SpyderLovers.

    Default Dialing...

    Doesn't take much but you do have to try different things. Glad you are getting a better ryde. Once you get used to that check back for some other great products that can make it even better.

    A bit of tuning can sure make a WORLD of difference!

    As mentioned, some simple tuning can make the handle much better. Proper air pressure in tires and shock adjustment go a long way.
