• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Please help, what is the best tire pressure?

Do a search on tire pressure and you will find a wealth of knowledge and preferences. It's an old topic:bdh:
 
You need to find the best pressure for your spring settings, weight, style of riding, etc. For most of us, 18-20 front & 28-30 rear seems to be a good place to start with stock tires. It will make a big difference in cornering when you raise the fronts above the BRP recommendations. I think you will like it! I would not recommend running too high in the front, even though they are rated for 30 psi. Also, I would not recommend running below the 15 psi minimum printed on the front tire sidewalls. Remember, tire pressures are to be checked cold...no matter what Kenda says.
 
Is anyone using "TireGard" for monitoring tire pressure? They are expensive but I have seen a wide range of prices, from $179 to $279 for the Trike version.

I've got the Trike Tireguards. Little diagram is backwards but I think its a great gizmo. The other night the little alarm went off because my rear pressure was too low. That's a nice feature.
 
What about concerns that the plastic will bend/break with the added weight from the monitor on the stem, causing a major issue?

The sensors are very light and I have never had a problem. I was not aware of any issue until you mentioned it.

I checked some other boards and some have had tire blowouts due to the stem breaking...I think there is some concern with this but I'd figure we'd be better off as our tires don't lean, thus changing forces on the stem all the time?

I read somewhere that to avoid stem breakage you should change over to medal stems.

I decided to put up with looking at the trike backwards, so here it is, and even though expensive, it sure seems effective, nice to be able to see the Temp for ea tire also....

tire guard

I tried them on a GS and found they throw the balance off..after removing the sensors the wheels had much less bounce and is much more smooth.:spyder2:
 
But that is a pretty cool-looking thing! :thumbup: I've got a buddy with a Tri-Glide and I'm going to have to see if I can get him to part with some coin for one of them...

I ran over 250 mi with them on my RT this weekend, speeds up to 85 and never felt any different than before. I sure like them. Being able to also see the tire temp is interesting also.
