Ok, so I am on my way to work this morning and I am getting on the 408 (Freeway/Toll Road). Well, I am taking the on ramp and a good angle and the rear end starts to wobble and the **** end starts kicking out. I was thinking WTF, must have been something on the road..... So, I continue on and I take another turn, same ****e, happens. So I take it easy the rest of the way and I get to work fine. Well, I had just checked the PSI in them 2 days ago and was at 39. Check them at work 9.5 PSI in the rear..... Holy crap. Looked fine while the bike was just sitting there, but with me on it, is another story. So, moral of the story, CHECK YOU PRESSURE!

 

Son of a ****, that sounds scary.

 

What happened man? Did you pick up a nail or something? I swear I checked the air pressure in my tires the other day and it was like 32 PSI then I got a flat on my rear tire and they checked the front tire while it was in and it dropped to 20 PSI... HTF does that happen so fast?

 

Weather can affect it and I think I have a slow leak somewhere but I am not sure. I am getting a new tire Wednesday.

 

do you get a crazy discount from your dealership or what?

 

No, I have a tire protection plan I got when I financed my bike. IF I run over a nail, hit a pothole, curb, etc, and something happens to the tire, I get a new one for free.

 

for free or do they discount the next based on % tread used? if it's the former the mang...they better offer that crap around here!

 

No, as long as there is 40% of thread left and it was accidental, no burnouts or anything, I get tires put on for free and the tires themselves are free. It was $1000 for that and maintanence plan (which covers 4 years of services of anything I need that is recommended by Honda, and 3 free batteries). So all that is covered, and I get to pick the tires I want to run, that they stock

 

that sounds like not too bad a deal especially if the tires really are free....

 

Yeah, drop the bike off, then come pick it up, owe $0. Same with any of my services I get done there or and batteries
