Don't tyre pressures/condition get mentioned as part of the "training process"? :eek I have to agree with Dek here-surely to goodness when you trust your life(& others) to 2 small areas of rubber contact which transmit all your cornering/braking/accelerating effort-any rider worthy of the name would check tyre pressures along with the other items in "POWDERS" at least weekly! This is the sort of thing you expect from oblivious cocooned cage drivers-not motorcylists :eek
Im not having a go at you personally,hightower-just assumed this was "Basic Training" stuff. Useful tip: Fit alloy dust caps with o-ring seal inside instead of usual plastic ones-they help keep air in tyre. Secont tip: Buy a tyre pressure gauge-Ive had mine 20 years & its still accurate!
