yep, check your tires and tire pressure.
All this talk about checking your tire pressure, which should be standard practice every time you ride...how many of you check it every ride? Don't feel obligated to answer...it's kind of a rhetorical question
You check your tire pressure every day??? wow...I'm impressed...I only do monthly when I give my bike some major love and mini maintenance

Thanks for the replies. I will just keep the oil in it then. I let it warm up for a good 15 mins., charged the battery and cleaned her all up. Runs ok, still getting that stabile crap out so it smokes alittle. I checked the fluids and tire pressure also. I have tire pressure at stock 36 and 42 the manual says.

Check tires maybe every other week. For the most part track I run 28 PSI on track and 32 on street. Also depends on the tire to some extent.

I change the oil before storage, maybe get a few rides in over the winter on some of the nicer days in the 40s and once the spring season is in full effect then do an oil change again.

Other than doing a quick once over before I plan on getting her really up to speed and putting in some quicker rides I don't do too much.

Isn't that pressure pretty low. Manual says 36 front and 42 in the rear when cold.

MOM also doesn't take into account different tire manufacturers and their own specific recommendations for those tires. For street I keep my Pilot Powers in the 38-40 psi range for the front and 34-36 psi range for the rear.

Here's some track psi recommendations from a tire test done a while back:

I have Pilot Sports. For everyday riding what should the front and rear be at??? Just want to make sure. You have a very valid point about different tires. I would like to know what i should have mine at and I don't race.
