Been fitting a new drive that's basically left the bike in the garage for 8 weeks... so, battery all charged, cleaned him today (covered in crap and dust from all the work) and hopefully rain or shine, he's out tomorrow... man, 8 weeks, I'll have forgotten how to ride lol. |First thing is, check the tyre pressure before I go out lol

 

Yep, def check your tire pressures. ;-)

Enjoy your ride. :-)

 

Speaking of tyre pressures... can't remember what goes in the front and rears now... jesus, it has been a long time... 36/42 is it?

 

Manual recommends, 36 front and 42 rear.

Though saying that I have no idea what mine are at!

 

Hey how's the modding going on that white bike, sure it was you?

 

It was me!

It's going well albeit slow, I updated the thread a couple weeks back. Alot of work hours recently and birthdays! Cost me a bit, I will be ordering the headlight assembly on payday so the log will get some more updates soonish.

 

That 36/42 manual recommendation is for the OEM tire...which you should def not still be using. ;-)

Tire pressures depend on the tire brand, tire type, & type of riding. FWIW, no matter what the tire, I've never run 36/42 on my F4.

 

I have Pirelli Diablo Strada's... so what you run then and pressure?

 

Best I review mine then, they were done when I had the tires fitted but she's been on the paddock for a while since then.

Edit; don't suppose you'd have a rough idea for Bridgestone battleax BT-023 would you, gotcbr?

 

Start w/ the recommendations of the particular tire manufacturer. Then, adjust for variables like; type of riding, riding environment, etc.
