Cool on-line tool

[Blackbird]

Check this neat tool out for checking what the tyre pressures for your bike should be, plus tyre choice from the Dunlop range. Whether your choice of rubber is Dunlop or not, it's a bit of fun, even better with the speakers on.

Yep its cool pity it doesnt have my bike

[What?]

Mrs What? is watching Coro Street. Still found time to yell out "what's that noise?" Too good!

[MikeL]

Yeah the sound FX are kinda cool. Slightly let down by the fact that they didn't have my particular bike model. Still I suppose the XJR1300 is close enough... 36 front and rear, easy enough to remember...

Had the Nordie in the list but couldn't "contact base".

Could for the XL tho.

The only Guzzi Dunlop had listed was the Centauro. Here's one for Metzler

and a pressure conversion calculator

The animations are a bit annoying rather quickly, neither of my bikes are in there. And the choice is sequential, you can't go back and change an option if you have already set it. But some good work 52 / 100

Heh nifty. My bike is in there, quite surprising when its a pain in the arse to find out other information about it.

Oh I'd give it more than 52%. A real case of "fitness for purpose" in that you only need to see it once unless you change your bike. With respect to your bike not being there, neither are many of the older machines I've owned. I guess they view tyre pressures and tyre choice being completely incidental to the handling deficiencies of older machines (Said with a large measure of tongue parked in cheek as it's been a long and boring day and getting someone to bite would be the only bright spot).

LOL, my bikes newish (1998) and lets see who can pass you around the outside of a corner But yes i still say a good tool

[Blackbird]

Earlier this year on twisty damp roads north of Coromandel, two mates on a Hyabusa and Gixxer 1000 and me received a comprehensive working-over by another mate riding his daughter's RG 150. (For much the same reason why 250cc GP bikes have practically identical lap times to the 500's on some circuits.)

[Velox]

Stink - mine's not in there either. They seem to be missing a few eh? I guess it's us slighlty weirder ones.

[James Deuce]

Got through 3 steps and on the last one it failed to provide a year, so I couldn't continue.

Weird.

I just tried to enter my wife's 250 Virago and they didn't have that in there either - being an official UK bike (and this being an official UK site), little odd.

Also a bit worried about their pressures for the SV650S - glad to see fitting D208's is their recommendation (first thing you do when you buy an SV is bin the useless MEZ4s that come as standard). But concerned to see they recommend 36psi front and rear - when Suzuki themselves say 33/36.

Dunno what your local manufacturer head offices are like, but they're very helpful with this sort of thing in the UK - one call to the technical dept and they're happy to look it up and let you know.

I could not find the conversion calculator which was ammusing, as the reccommendation was given in bar (2.5 front 2.9 rear) but the recommendations under safety about adhjusting for heavy loads etc are in psi (3 for heavy loads or pillion to stop the carcass overheating).
