Rear Tire Pressure Survey

[darrell]

I’ll watch closer in 2020 but at the last 3 Ride-In’s where 35 total motorcycles showed up I don’t remember 1 rider showing up, unpacking and then removing 4 psi of air from their tires. If they did at 0 Dark Thirty that night or the next morning I don’t remember anyone adding back those 4 psi they removed when they arrived the morning they left after packing up the bike. Just sayin”. It would be interesting to use the same calibrated gauge and do a pressure check on 15 bikes in a parking lot the morning after they arrive with no adjustments made from their ride in. Each owner write down what they think psi is before it is checked. I’d bet 20 of the 30 tires would be different by 2 psi or more from what the owner thinks it is. I know it has to be perfect temperature morning to match what BMW says their reading is compensated for but if not someone smarter then me should be able to figure that out.
