Or use the wrong pump.

I honestly couldnt tell you, I ride by feel and engine sound.
The v-twin takes a little time to get used to but once you get the hang of it, youve got it

Just come back from collecting 1st big bike, an SV, what an experience, think I may have died & gone to heaven......
134 miles & every one a grin, can't believe the acceleration, smoooooooooth.

Will have to devise some sort of exercise for my wrists ( careful!!!!) they were quiet tired at the end, lads came round & thought it was a brand new bike ( thanks embee)
Why do we have to work in the week, I will ave to wait another 5 days before I can take it out for a poodle round again.

You beat me to embee's bike, looked a beauty in the pics he sent me. I'm Leamington so not far from you guys, when I pull my finger out and actually get a bike I'll be more than up for some ride outs.

It could just because you are new to riding or you might find moving the bar levers round a bit might help tremendously. A lot of peeps turn the levers down a bit so that the wrists aren't bent.

Have you seen this thread?

Might be a good way to meet some of us orgers. Although I see you've already joined the Severn Circuit rideout. See you there.
