Default Re: Suspension issue this morning

the surface might be an issue but i havent had that problem before, and i take the corner twice a day, once each way.

Checked the tyre pressure, the rear was about 35 so i pumped it up a bit and the front was about 38 so I took it down to 33.

Then on the way home I had a thought, should you do trye pressue when the tyre is hot or cold? mine were hot, fast ride, warm day, warm road.

thanks

check pressures with cold tyres.

Check them again before you ride in the morning and adjust if necessary.

checked the pressue with the tyres cold this morning, and they were both way low, about 30psi each. the front is understandable as I left it down last night but the rear muct have been really low as I pumped it up abit last night when it was warm

this underinflation could very well have been the problem.

does fast riding force air out of the tyre? (for want of a better discription) I know having a pillion can do that as well? Might be the cause then, couple of fast rides and 2 trips with a pillion.
