    Life on a trike is great, just remember to keep your feet up when you stop! Trike Features: Brakes • If your Honda motorcycle was equipped from the factory with ABS (Anti-Lock Brakes) your CSC trike will retain this feature. • Your Honda motorcycle was equipped with a linked (front and rear) braking system.
  • Page 5 • If your Honda motorcycle was equipped with a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) it will either be disabled (Viper) or will continue to function on the front wheel only (Encore).
  • Page 6 • Your trike has retained the OEM preload adjuster and it functions on the trike shock just as it did on the OEM Honda shock. The preload adjuster is simply a way to raise and lower the height of the rear suspension on your trike. This is necessary to compensate for varying loads.
  • Page 7 • Your trike has been equipped with an automotive type driveshaft using the highest quality u-joints available. These do not require any maintenance and should last the lifetime of your trike. • Encore trikes maintain the OEM traction control. • Your CSC trike has a slightly higher final gear ratio (numerically) than the stock motorcycle.

  • Page 12: Auxiliary Fuel Tank

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank: HOW IT WORKS: • When fuel is added to the Honda fuel tank, the CSC fuel tank is automatically filled at the same time. Sometimes the gas station pump will fill the Honda tank faster than the transfer hose can transfer the fuel.
  • Page 13 CSC tank the fuel will drain out of the vent as well. • The CSC tank is a closed system with the Honda tank so all emission devices will continue to function just as Honda designed them to.

    Trailering your CSC trike: If you plan on trailering your trike, please use this diagram for the proper tie down procedure.
