Status ITraction Adiuster

The status adjuster (right and left side) allows you to selectively adjust the

position of your InstaTrike wheels in order to customize ride, handling, level, and

traction characteristics. Your InstaTrike is shipped with the status adjuster

preset to an optimum position for your model of motorcycle however you can

make whatever adjustments necessary to customize to your personal

preference.

As a rule -

Shortening the status adjuster arm raises the InstaTrike wheels and places

more of the weight of your motorcycle on the motorcycle wheel. This increases

motorcycle traction and gives a generally softer ride.

Lengthening the status adjuster arm lowers the InstaTrike wheels and places

more of the weight of your motorcycle on the InstaTrike wheels. This gives a

firmer ride and increases handling/cornering.

To change status adjuster arm length -

1) Loosenjam nuts

2) Adjust arm length by loosening and turning flange nut C and/or hex nut D

3) After desired adjustment tighten nut C and D and jam nuts.

4) If necessary the pivot bolt and bolts A and B can be loosened for adjustment.

Be certain to retighten all bolts after adjustment.

NOTICE: Check all bolts and nuts periodically for tightness

NOTICE: Be sure motorcycle is level after adjustment.
