rear tyre pressure

[rippers]

I also use a foot pump I got from Halfords.If you are only topping up a few pounds it is not a problem.

I see the bit about 'Slime' I swear by tyre sealants such as ' Ultra Seal'  for prevention of punctures, but have not used it since I got the GTR as I am given to believe it knackers up the pressure sensor for the headstock readout. Do not know if that is true.

That RING compressor linked off ebay is basically what I have. It's rated at 10amps, so will blow your accessory socket fuse if you use it in there. It seemed fine pumping my tyres up to 42 psi by the way. I like it. I just need to wire it into the battery direct.

I've got a michelin tyre pumpy thing. I too burst the fuse on the pan so I changed the cigarette lighter end to a socket the same as my optimiser. This goes straight to the battery. I have the same set up on my GSXR as well and an adapter for the car.

Works a treat, its never on long so doesnt kill the battery.

If youve got an optimate or similar just get a plug.

Ive only had my GTR since Sept and only done 300miles. The front has lost 2-3 PSi a month and the back has been fine. My GSXR goes to bed in November until April, it loses 20psi each wheel when sitting that length of time.

Probably just a poor seal like the others have said.

Pre 2010 models are fused at 10amp.
5amp for the newer model.

why in god's name did kawasaki do that? think I will use the spare "croc" clip's connector's that came with my optimate 4 and swap it for the fag lighter "plugger inner thingy" that's normally supplied with the mini 12 volt tyre compressor's. only want this when I'm touring, when at home I use croc clips and old car battery to power my car tyre compressor. but was thinking of getting a small motorcycle tyre compressor to carry with me. suppose it's just as easy to plug it into the permanent optimate lead straite from the bike's battery.

Brilliant. Thanks Kawasaki.  :P
