Not only is proper tire inflation
essential for safety it is also a way to save yourself 100's of
dollars each and every year. After some time of running on under
inflated tires the tire gets what is called cupping. This not only
provides for a very uncomfortable ride but it also decreases the
tires life expectancy dramatically. So keep your motorcycle tires
inflated properly for a better ride, a safer ride, and save yourself
100' of Dollars each year.
When doing a pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle
tires be sure you check the rims carefully. Look for any cracks
or blemishes in the rims, and if you run a spoked rim check each
spoke and be sure that it is not loose. Loose spokes can cause an
uneven rim therefore taking away some of the control you have on
your motorcycle. Therefore it is important to be sure you take the
extra minute or two to properly check your rims carefully. |
