IMO tyres a few psi down do affect the handling & as already mentioned 2 small contact patches between bike & road. I only use matched pairs of tyres-even on the cage!Ok as I've said not great at bike maintanance and I know I'm gonna get lots of stick and abuse bout this but ....
P petrol tick know how to check that and fill up

E Electrics if i turn the key and it starts thats good I ride with lights on and can check them
R Rubber thanks to this forum I now know how to check my tyres to correct pressure
