It looks like the guy is a Can Am rep educating the dealer is kinda the way I see it.

He stated 25 psi for front tires...my label says 20 psi for front tires ....which is correct ?

He is showing the Rally so it may be different tire pressure but go by what the label says for your particular model.

I also have a rally...and will stick to what label says

Man, 20 psi seems low but what do I know.

Go by your label. He was wrong on a couple of things.

To put it in perspective.... I run 18 F&R on my F3-S with car tires and it is pure awesomeness! The OE Kendas were labeled to run at 15-17 on the fronts.

Such as?

He must be wrong on mpg mid 20's if you push it hard ?

He stated that sport mode shuts off traction control. Rally mode shuts it off but my experience, sport just delays it before cutting in. That plus the tire pressure issue. I did learn about the reaching under and lifting on the brake reservoir to assist in moving the right foot peg though.

 

[McRuss]

I wondered about that. It was my understanding that Sport mode just 'relaxed' traction control as well. The brake reservoir trick is one worth remembering! I thought it was interesting that he mentioned how easy it was to remove the body for access to the engine but did not demonstrate it; guess that was in the instructions for the mechanic! I suspect it won't be long before I figure it out though.

Guys, tire pressure recommendations are on the inside of the service panel on the right side of your trike. Just twist the ring and open the tab. It’s on a sticker affixed to the panel door.

Thanks for the video link; I learned a couple of things...

FWIW, the label on the bike states 20 PSI for the fronts and 28 - 30 PSI for the back, not 25...

I know this because I just topped them off. I have mine scheduled for repairs to fix a front/left leaking tire. There's no visible nails or holes, so it's likely a bead or stem issue...
