Tyre pressure chart including ambient temperature

Your Dad sounds like a sensible chap.  :)

Now then, can anybody remember when bikes used to have different tyre pressures for solo or pillion use? Why does that not seem to apply any more? just seems to be one these days. :-\

I think people do still adjust pressures for two up riding. More so the rear than the front

thought I would look at this clip once more to try and make sense of it. he was defo riding for the camara, and not concentrating on the road. I noticed on the first left bend just before the crash at approx 26.36. in-effect, he "fiftypence" is way round! he leant in to sharp on the first left hander then needed to run straite to compensate when the road straighten out slightly then his speed was to much for the line he would have needed to take for the second left hander, he did not have the time to loose any speed which forced him to lean the bike far more than he needed to had he got the line right to start off with! he may have got away with it. but on the clip, it's look's the road service at that exact point his rear wheel lost grip was very poor. just hope the guy was not seriously hurt, don't think he will make the same mistake again thou.

Valve extenders (as pictured above) are excellent and particularly useful on the mainland; some of the petrol station ones are difficult to use with bike valves.

As Nok12rs states, valve extenders are great !  Just dont ride with them attached as wheels go massively out of balance due to the "incorrectly" placed weight, by all means use when you inflate but remove for riding

Doh!

Doh! 

You might say Doh!....but trust me people do ride with them in.

Which clip is that Mr 2Kwaks?

[viper]

i run on 42/42 and ive noticed on a warm day after a brisk ride ive never seen the psi rise by anymore than 1 or 2 points

[Rusty]

Like wise ... I run on 42 each end and 2 weeks ago in all that heat the back end was up to 44   

[pistole]

- noticed that the pressure display from the TPMS does not vary (not by much anyhow) from the start of the ride to full heat build up.

- is the pressure corrected somehow by the computer ?

- i would have thought that if it was 42 psi from the start of the ride , at highway speeds it would quickly add a couple of psi , at least ?

.

[Kwikasfuki]

Mine always increases by a couple of psi.

[O.C.]

Mine always increases by a couple of psi.

Same here

vlave extenders are a great idea , thanks
