    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Air pressure effect on tire wear

  • Thread starter Thread starter Giblet

One thing all my track time driving cars taught me was that within reason tyre pressure is not nearly so important as you might think unless you are right at the limit.

This is also true on road bikes & mountain bikes.

I can't believe it's so far different on a GS (although I'm a new rider...)

Too much can be almost as bad as too little but having them higher is safer than the other way.

Personally I ride the high speed solo Suzuki pressures all the time which work out about the same as Pirelli's minimum quoted figure & also matches the low speed two up figure (for when I have the wife onboard - she won't do speed...). For me it's the best compromise. I'm 165 & the wife is about 90lb so it's less of an issue than for some.

Not that I'm taking sides because that's not my style. I've known Philip (Boondocks) for a couple of years since he bought some items off me from Ebay.
Whenever I have a question about where to buy or how something works I pm him and always get a well researched and articulate response.
I feel he gets upset because he does spend alot of time researching a subject before commenting on it.
Arrogance and confidence are two different things. I'm not calling anyone arrogant but I feel Philip is very confident in what he says.

But one things for sure I wouldn't want to be on the other side of an argument with him!
 
Thanks for that information, and I wouldn't want anyone to take sides. It was just a difference of opinion as far as I'm concerned.
