  • Is there any difference in tubeless and tube tyres? cause in my country all bikes run on tube tyres

  • maybe you could take a class that teaches you to do Maintenance on your bike?.... you will save loads of cash in the end... just a thought for you...

  • I check mine every weekend. Tip: Don't use gas station gauges.. most seem way off. $5 for a digital gauge is worth it if you have a motorcycle.

  • I know firsthand that low tire pressure can be very bad on dirt roads, almost lost control of my V45 Magna got back and checked... i had 3psi in the front tire and 7 in the back

  • @jhuey936 sorry for some reason i put you instead of him/his in a spot wow fail...

    for general riding it would be probably in the manual. For my dirtbike the proper inflation pressure is in the manual, the tires are rated to 35PSI but the manual calls for 15 lol HUGE difference. BUT for different riding conditions you do alter the tyre pressure Eg track racing, Hot days and so on with street bikes that is. [from my understanding]

  • @ecookman I know what you meant, I was just being a smartass. The sticker in the doorframe on the driver door, but now you've got me thinking... Where the hell would it be on a bike? I guess you'd have to consult the manual.... or the interwebs.

  • @jhuey936 I was referring to your comment about tire pressure and cars :p

    although this may amuse you watch?v=VbdkZB9-Sd4

    But i do agree with you Pressure is very important, get it right for the most grip, with a contact patch smaller than the palm of your hand for each tyre at highway speeds, you want your pressure set right so you have the most grip possible, that and getting a flat, scary stuff.

  • They charge you for air here to , so got myself a compressor and an pressure gage. When you use it enough it's much cheaper then checking at the gas station.

  • @benjixboy That's what I was thinking.

  • @cyclopse50 You really should get a new tyre, not worth risking it.
