So many questions. One at a time, I'm only human. Actually I'm not, I'm Denny Crane
You hear the one about the fella who died, went to the pearly gates? St. Peter let him in. Sees a guy in a suit making a closing argument. Says, "Who's that?" St. Peter says, "Oh, that's God. Thinks he's Denny Crane

"Silly" it is... I's no T-bird expert... But I's seen it quoted on here very often... & it must be quite "clearly" indicated in Ur "user's manual" BTW...

| | Posted : 11 Sep 2010 - 14:21 Post title : Re: tyre pressure (Re: ralph) | | | 36/38
38/40
40/42
42/42
these are the best I came up with after my search and research.
higher for milage and tire wear and two up or heavy weights
lower for single or stunt riding
in between cause YMMV
do your own due diligence.
PS I bet you a donut that if you have not checked your tires several times in the last 6 months, your pressure is low!!
dropping a pound a month is not unusual.
another tip I read: ride an hour, say mid day. put your hand on the tread. after you stop of course, and if its warm OK.
if its too hot to comfortably hold there, or if the front and rear feel different, the hot one has low pressure. most lilkely.
silly indeed!
