AK550 Tire Pressure ?

[randyo]

a rarity, I checked and set my pressure before a ride 34½F and 39½R then rode to my local post office and back 3 miles each way, rural paved roads.  pressures were up to 39F and 42R on return

Sounds normal to me. Hot psi is always higher than cold psi. And is also not consistent how much higher for the miles. 6 miles is plenty to warm up tires to operating pressures.

I was surprised at how quickly, just a leisurely ride to the PO and back, never went over 45, no twisties, no hard braking

I suspect the pressures would build up more on a long how day of twisty riding

something more to consider...from Dave Moss Tuning...a video on proper tire pressure setup ..he says the pressure listed on the sticker is all wrong!

Thank you and yes that was what I was trying to do. I’m in Delaware with my wife on our 42 anniversary and I thought I would post a picture on this site but it wouldn’t let the file is to big? No big deal but I guess I don’t do tech very well.
