    Something that I know we discussed last year, but having got through all the winter weather and getting a few warmer days, I’ve started riding harder on the Ninja and getting to grips with the grip levels on the roads… but I was having real trouble on slow corners and roundabouts (which there are loads of in Peterborough).. the front end just felt unstable and wanting to over-turn in…???

    Then yesterday after giving the bike a thorough cleaning and de-greasing, I checked all the levels, generally inspected and checked my tyre pressures…. 5psi down on both front and rear! Out with the footpump.. and what a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!! the front end now goes exactly where “I” want it to go, the bars dont try ripping my wrists off when I bank into slow corners.

    anno mate,done mine the other week after checking them.They too were 6psi down,as soon as i brought them back to 36psi the bike felt like it was on a knife edge,so presice and nimble.Just goes to show how important the tyre pressures are.
