Guest Tomg Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Just a word of advice. I have to change my tyres due to my neglect of checking the tyre pressure. it has created a flat squared of spot on the front tyre. not good obviously. so i just thought i would let you know. as i had no idea a) it was under pressure (no queens lyrics please!) or it would have that amount of effect. but maybe im just a bit of a thicky dumb shit!!! other than that just had the beast serviced and apart from new rear pads and the need ffor new tyres everythign else is ship shape.
Boozehound Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Worst experience I ever had on a motorcycle was riding 400 metres to a petrol station with a flat back tyre (bike had been recovered after it was nicked by some ratboys).
XTreme Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 You have to check your pressures all the time Tom....besides uneven tyre wear your life is on the line if you don't. 36/42 is generally the best combination for most bikes. And don't forget to check, adjust, and lube your chain regularly too.
Moderator Beezkneez Posted February 4, 2007 Moderator Posted February 4, 2007 ride harder, warms up the air temp more...equalling more pressure
Practitioner31 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 ride harder, warms up the air temp more...equalling more pressure i have just read mate in the owners mannual that it should be 29psi fron (2bar) and 36psi rear (2.5 bar)
