Re: Anybody else not checked tyre pressures for a while?
carl did his today and they were low. those pressures aren't bad if your doing a trackday........... 

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: Anybody else not checked tyre pressures for a while?
Yep mine were low about the same as yours. The tell tale sign that I needed to do them was the steering did not quite fall into the corners as it normally does and the back felt a but squidgy when leaning into bends. Bike just did not feel right and wow.... what a difference a bit of air makes. LOL

Re: Anybody else not checked tyre pressures for a while?
I haven't checked mine in a while. Last time we inflated them the thingy broke and we haven't got round to buying another one yet.. And I can't afford it
I'll have to try and find a petrol station with a thingy soon then

Re: Anybody else not checked tyre pressures for a while?
mine are 37 front and 42 at the rear, but I know when they are getting low because the handling characteristics change.

I'd still worry about it. We fill our aircraft tyres with Nitrogen only. They still go down.

I thought the whole point of using nitrogen is that it does not expand and contract the same way air does with various weather conditions and does not go stale and flat.I'd still worry about it. We fill our aircraft tyres with Nitrogen only. They still go down.
