just a prompt really.

Now the weather is cooling off

again here in the UK, check your tyre pressures regularly since they'll be dropping.

Went round my "fleet" and everything had dropped a couple of psi.

checked mine after my first service and the garage had actually got them right

They did an ok job on the bike and i checked and they greased up bits and pieces here and there. They did leave my idle pretty low though which caused the engine to stall often til i turned it up

Have they mucked you about before at CC?

33F, 36R. Feel free to vary these by a couple of PSI as some peeps like them slightly harder (I like 35/3

. And also some tyres work better at different pressures to the OEM tyres so it's not always that straight forward. Providing you're not wildly out you should be fine.

I check mine every time I have the tires changed. Is this not frequent enough
