Here’s a schematic for the steerable tag controls. I’m at a loss to understand why Al’s tag air pressure is set so high. On my previous LXi with a steerable tag I did increase the tag air pressure from 55 psi to 70 psi to take some of the load off the drive axles. If I remember correctly that increased the tag load from 10500psi to 11500 psi and decreased the drive axle pressure by almost the same amount. It also increased the steer axle pressure from 13000 to 13600 or there about. It looks like Al’s steer axle pressure at 16000psi is the result of the high tag axle pressure. Since the drive axle is presently at 21000 psi with no bike load, I would drop the tag air pressure to allow the drive to carry more weight. David, on your #2 weight calcs above (with bike) I don’t understand why the drive axle weight load would increase over 2000 #s and the tag axle weight load stay static??
