Same pressure, here, and I'm 18 stone

I was sure that the rocks in my head would weigh more...
15 stone...
one pound equals .0714286 stones
one stone equals 14 pounds...

Yes, Mike, 41 in front and 24 in my Cooper 235/15R/70s on the rear. I get 40K+ or so out of the rears and 25K on the front bias tire (yes, bias).

I have the same bike and it seems that I have to constantly add air to my tires. I check them before each ride. Is this normal? All of my two wheel motorcycles didn't require as much checking as the Spyder ?

its probably because of the Kenda tires... they are sub-standard tires... I am willing to bet if you change tires to a different brand .. the loss of air in your tires will lessen considerably... and your tires will last a lot longer too..

I'm running 24 in front, 28 in back. Two up almost all the time. The 24 up front makes for a stiffer tire. Better to resist impact from pot holes. PA. is the pot hole capitol of the USA. I have blown two tires this year on the car. I keep the tire pressure at 39. The rims were undamaged. It's advice I received years ago from a BMW Engineer who rode bikes. Tom
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

Now my ride seems a little more bouncier than before?
Has anyone else noticed this? What air levels do you keep your RT?
Thanks
Have you considered a shock adjustment....(if it applies to your ride?) Might help with any of the "harshness" to lighten up on the preload a bit. It will affect cornering too though so test it out.
