Default Tire Pressure Check Reminder
Check those tires! Got to take a spin today with the new front suspension, forks, rotors and brakes. Checked tires and they were 15 p.s.i. low- no surprise- just sayin- CHECK your tire pressure before the winter hot-lap.

Check it every weekend, but Florida keeps it pretty steady.

Yup, check mine weekly during riding season. RK is 25 mi. away now in winter storage but before the ride home in spring I'll be checking them for sure...no doubt they'll be needing a bit of topping up.
