    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!
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    Always check presures & if it needs it.
    When everything is coming your way...you're in the wrong lane.

    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.
