[QUOTE="Bogus, post: 869201, member: 13782"] I got lax about checking the air in my tires at least once a week, and started noticing a decline in the performance of the tires. I was having to keep pressure on the inside bar to hold a line in corners. The bike wanted to "flop" over in low speed parking lot manuvers. The bike didn't feel planted. I just thought that it was from having enough miles on the PR2's that they were starting to handle worse. The front has about 4000, and the rear around 8000. I was always going to check the air "as soon as I get home". Finally after about a month, I checked the pressure, and found that I had 36# front and rear. Topped them both off to 40#, and forgot about it. Went for a ride the next day, and Holy Shite!! It was just like having new tires again! Very neutral steering once you set your line, no more flopping in the parking lot, and much better feel. I know this is no revelation to youse guys, but maybe it will be a reminder to check those pressures regularly! [/QUOTE]
