Before the French trip I thought it was a good idea to check the tyre pressures.
On other bikes it must be simple. The front. Yep easy. Very accessible. The book says 36psi. It was only 29. 😕
The 240 on the back is a little difficult to get to or rather the valve is.
The valve is on the right side and luckily Triumph saw fit to make it a right angled one.
Positioning the wheel to get access was easy enough. Rolling the bike back and forth to get the valve where I could see it.
Getting in to get the nozzle on the valve means struggling past the disc.
Anyone at Tesco that saw me kneeling at the back of the bike may have thought I was praying.
A few curses maybe as once at 42psi I couldn't get the nozzle off. More air out than in.
Finally I got the air in and the nozzle disconnected okay. Brushing dust off my riding trousers and I could go.
As for handling. I gave it a run up the A20 to Sandling on the curves and ups and down. I didn't actually notice much difference. Maybe a little quicker into corners?
