Title: Check your Tire Pressure
Post by: Wells on April 28, 2011, 05:54:00 PM
Just a reminder.
If you haven't done it in the last two weeks, be sure to do it soon.

.. Checked mine this morning for the first time in a while and was a bit surprised (well, not REALLY surprised, I'd noticed the bike feeling like it was riding through molasses).

So what is the molasses pressure?
I'll take a guess and say between 18 and 21psi

cold molasses is fun! harder to spread around Mmmm!

i check my tyre pressures every time i ride, it's not a daily ride anymore but i still checked them weekly when it was.

I always check the tyres and fuel every time we go out. Since we have more then 1 bike each it makes it hard to remember when we did the checking last

Haha Rob.. It's Kings Cross, not Betty & Jukie's place.  [laugh]

Mick, I love my back yard.. it can be pretty colourful. Pity I didn't have the boat parked in the background.. Think the Navy lads might have borrowed it to do some "maneuvers" or something.

Checked mine the other day, after she started handling like a boat. 14 psi on the front, and 21 on the rear   :o  kinda neglected it.... Got her a complimentary oil change and lube/tension to apologise haha
