Tire pressure FoBo-ed this morning. It HAS been interesting to watch the pressure change that occurs when riding.
I usually set the pressure at 41 psi, both ends, with the AE gII tires. To be honest, though, I've never paid a lot of attention to 'hot' or 'cold' settings and I formed the misconception a long time ago that the difference was only a couple of pounds.
Yeah, if I remembered to check before riding, yes, I knew I had in mind 41 psi COLD but, unless it was en epic journey that day, it wasn't a huge priority. I'd do a visual check, but I often wouldn't bother to check *with a gauge* before heading out on afternoon rides, so I'd end up checking it at the first fuel stop. The FoBo has shown that motorcycle tires change during use a LOT more than my truck or car tires.
At one point a while back I set them at 41 with a gauge just a short distance from the house so they weren't completely cold. I put the FoBos on and since then I have seen the pressures around 6~8 psi on a given day and I've seen the cold pressure ever so slowly drop over time.
I will reset them in the morning to 43 *cold* and keep on enjoying having the monitoring. Yesterday while doing other importanty things I wondered about the pressures but no way was I going to ~stop~ the job I was doing, get a gauge and check. I tapped the app on my phone. I saw the current pressures. It was....awesome.
