Title: Check your Tire Pressure!!
Post by: Budrick320 on March 29, 2006, 04:25:43 PM
Just a friendly reminder to check your tire pressure at least a couple times a month. I just checked it yesterday after about 3 months. I didn't think there was going to be alot of difference, maybe 5 psi off or so, but check it out:

Front needs 33psi.........I measured 21!........12psi difference :o
Rear needsĀ  36psi.........I measured 22!........14psi difference :o

So hopefully my MPG will go up and my handling and riding experience will be better.
Don't delay, Check today!

I didn't check when I first got my bike either...  The rear tire didn't even register on the dial :o and the front read about 15 PSI. :nono:  Not to mention my chain tention was WAY THE HELL off...  It had about 3.5" of play.  :nono:

And I rode it like that. :oops:

I check my tire pressure every few rides...  When I first got my new tires, I check it before EVERY ride. :thumb:
