Mine is getting dyno'd today.

I asked him to call me if it blows up. He said no way, if it blows up, will e-mail you.

:blink:

He'll email on the way out the door for some much needed time away....

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.

CHarging system check?

Dropping it off at the dealership for a service recall on the saddlebags with complimentary wash. I'll be packing on Saturday to leave first thing Sunday morning.

You'll probably still pass me on the way.

Bring a gauge. That way you can check mine when we get there.

Check the twisty things inside the bags before riding.

My dealer did the recall, but only half twisted the retainer pins.

Funny, a recall about bag hardware and they didn't fully latch them...

Fe Butte 06-09-2016 07:03 PM

And Tire Rack has some tech Info about tire pressure and temperatures.

Luke611 06-09-2016 07:09 PM

I'm pulling out tomorrow night.

One of my fondest memories was following you up the Pig Trail on my first trip to Arkansas.
