I can't believe I actually read this whole thread... Is there an "L" on my forehead?

I heard the MOCO won't honor your warranty if you let Indies change your air, does anybody know if that's true?

Thanks for a fun reminder to keep track of tire pressure. A wise man told me years ago that "there are two things keeping your *** off the pavement and that is your front and rear tire, make sure they are the best they can be".

There's plenty of debate on proper pressue but I think that few will argue that under-inflated is not so good.

Yeah, and don't let your insurance company find out, they'll deny your claim. And I hear the cops here in CO are going to start pulling bikers over for random air checks

I prefer full synthetic air in the tires. You can use it year round and it doesn't wear out as fast as conventional air.
