#106638 shacky (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 630 Check those tire pressures 3 Years, 9 Months ago   Thought I felt a difference in my ride. Took a lot more effort to lean into a turn. Been doing it since I had my Baron's spring installed several weeks ago. All of a sudden I said to myself - self you need to check your tire pressure as it's been a whil;e. Sure enough - front tire was down to 25 lbs Rear was 28. I don't think I check them since buying the bike back the end of May. Learned my lesson. Hope someone else learns from my experience. Bike handles much much better now.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/06 19:17 By shacky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #106641 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2378 Re:Check those tire pressures 3 Years, 9 Months ago   same thing happened to me. i traded another R* owner his spokes for my cast wheels/tires. his had 178miles on them.I noticed last week it wasnt handlingright,kind of vague. cheeked tire PSI & only down 3PSI. enough to make a difference   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #106729 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1013 Re:Check those tire pressures 3 Years, 9 Months ago   I find that 25/28 is a really good pressure for stump pulling and riding on the beach And, yes, I check every two weeks...mine were down a few punds this time and usually they are dead on...could be the new tires, who knows?

I just checked mine this AM (headed up to the mountains of NC this afternoon) and they were down, too. I put 36 in the front and 41 in the rear. (I'm a big boy) but I am running metz 880's and I didn't know about running 41 front and back. Is this a good idea? I am not sure anyone ever told me to run that high in the front. Where can I see that info?? anyone know?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107158 WhiteStarNC (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 426 Re:Check those tire pressures 3 Years, 9 Months ago   If we all fix our air pressure Obama says we will not be dependant on foreign oil!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107160 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o! Moderator Posts: 3508 Re:Check those tire pressures 3 Years, 9 Months ago   If you have the ME880 then look at the side wall if will say max tire pressure 42lbs front AND rear. If you go to the website they tell you it's very important to run at the proper pressure for the longevity of the tire. Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
