Touring bikes and trikes carry more weight and rack up more miles than most, so tires, brakes, suspension and fluids all work harder. Syndicate Cycle services baggers, trikes and touring rigs in Oroville and sets them up for long days on the road, with suspension components available through the parts counter.
Every touring bike and trike has a weight limit, the gross vehicle weight rating on the frame label. Rider, passenger, luggage and everything in the tour pack all count toward it. Load a bike close to that number and the tires, brakes and suspension all need to be set for the weight, not for a solo ride around town.
Most touring models have adjustable rear suspension, either air shocks or a preload knob depending on the year, and the right setting changes with the load. Riding solo one weekend and two-up with luggage the next means adjusting it, or the bike wallows in corners and bottoms out over bumps.
Trikes carry their weight differently from a two-wheeler, so the rear tires and brakes wear on their own schedule and get their own checks. Before a long trip in hot weather, fresh oil and a close look at the tires cost far less than a problem a few hundred miles from home. Long summer days on the highway are hard on batteries and tires alike, so both deserve a look before a big trip. Suspension parts are available through the parts counter when the stock setup is not enough.
We also carry HardDrive and Dunlop, plus exclusive suspension components. If we do not have the part on the shelf, we will get it in.
Yes. Touring bikes, baggers, softails and trikes are most of what rolls through the door.
Tire pressure and tread, brake pads, fluids and lights. If you want a second set of eyes on it before a trip, roll it in.
Find the gross vehicle weight rating on the frame label or in the owner's manual, then subtract the bike's own weight. What is left covers you, a passenger and everything you pack.
Usually, yes. A passenger and luggage change the load a lot, and the rear suspension should be set to match. The owner's manual lists the settings for your model.
