Brand new Dunlops - whatever the Service Dept. sets them at .... checked every time I have service (2 X a year). Are they supposed to leak, or something???

Is anybody using the air suspension pump to check/add tire air ?

I have the Victory/Fox hand pump to check the rear suspension. I like the dial- seems very accuratre. wonder how much effort it is to ad a little air to the tires as needed.

The flexible hose makes it easy to check pressures.



I think you need something more heavy duty, but you can try...

I use the E-3 on front with 40 psi and Kumho on the rear set at 42 psi. I also have the stem sensors from bigbikeparts.com. Most of the time there is a build-up of 4 to 6 psi (front & rear) when running 75 mph and the temps were in the high 90's. Tire temps were 110 on the front and 124 on the rear. This was over 500 miles in 7 hours with stops only for gas. In short hops around the house, psi build-up is around the same with the tire temps running a lot lower even with the outside heat being low 90's. ET

Good advice. I was getting some cupping while running 38 psi in the front. After a few days at 40-41psi, it is gradually disappearing. Didn't know what I was doing wrong, since I check my tires and add 1-2 psi every week or two. I thought the previous owner had just run it with really low air pressure. But at 15,000 it is almost ready for a new front tire.
