Where did you get the mini digi reader from? Infinity, I might have a word with the bods, see if they can whip some Teesside bikers ones up for sale? Put me down for one if they do them i might check my tyre pressures more often |

I check/change my tyre pressures every time I go from riding solo to 2 up and vice versa. Why on my bike do the tyre pressures need adjusting for different loadings on the bike and some don't? I had a VFR, David's CBR and Struv's Bandit all only have one set of tyre pressure settings!  |

I imagine they actually do need different settings, just with the cbr being a bit older *dont know the age of struvs bandit!* im going to guess some of the health and saftey etc wasnt quite as pushed as it is now so its a case of bugger it lets put a setting on and let them figure it out |

another good point is check your tyres cold, as when they warm up the pressure drops, so if lets say you have 36 psi cold reading then hot that maybe 32 , just a useless bit of info lol  |

There was a thread started a while back i think Iconic started it to get a free tyre pressure guage from Pirelli, i never got mine threw the letter box  |

When ever I can be arsed - the same as cleaning. A bike is for riding, not cleaning and polishing.

couldnt agree more abbs though i did spend yesterday cleaning its only because im selling her  just checked my tyre pressures before i go out today and was about 6 psi down in each tyre so that should make it handle better ;D oh and checked and lubed chain and checked engine oil though its a honda and everyone knows they dont burn oil  |
