My Honda should be 36 psi front 42 psi rear
Finally got around to checking mine after owning the bike for 6 months and found 21 front 29 rear
Shame on me :-[


Anyway after inflating to proper pressures I took her out for a ride :)
Wow!!! What a difference that has made, it's like riding a different bike, feels so much lighter and more flickable now. And I reckon it should be even better on fuel now.
No wonder I thought it felt really heavy before :-?

Anyway don't be a lazy git like me, if you haven't checked yours for a while get out there and do it before your next ride :)

You naughty man!
I concur with Nelly, once a week and before every big trip away.
Watch out for dodgy wear on the tires as well, it will have worn differently with pressures that low!

Always check presures & http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/misc/smiley-vault-misc-141.gif (http://www.smileyvault.com/) if it needs it. ;)

I get my man to check them at tyre changes.

I check mine but I've found they barely seem to loose pressure - I think the blue puncture gunk may help by filling all the little holes the air mostly would escape from!

I do a daily check - easier when you have pressure sensing dust caps.
