    No I haven't noticed that but I will check it out. I almost always ride alone so no one has said anything.

    Thank's for posting...

    Quick update.

    I've now had the light replaced under the manufactures warranty, it was touch and go though as the warranty had expired a couple of weeks previously.

    On closer inspection I noticed that the led;s were flickering, or at least one was, I think it's down to poor solder joints caused by lead free solder.

    Best to keep an eye on this as a new light will cost £150.00.

    I'm not sure at what point you would fail an MOT due to defective LED's.

    Stay safe.

    Yeah I checked mine. All working but I will keep and eye on this...

    TPMS Temperature Reading

    We're looking at Ideal Gas Law here. Which basically states P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2 where P is pressure, V is volume, and T is temperature. Have you ever noticed that both tires basically increase the same amount of pressure on a long ride? If the tires temperatures both increased the *same*, then the overall pressure increase would be LESS on the rear tire than the front, owing to the fact that its VOLUME is greater. But that's not what we observe. The overall increase in pressure as we ride is usually the same, front and rear. The rear tire's temperature increases MORE than the front, compensating for the increased volume and therefore making the overall pressure increase the same.

    Forgive me physicists if I oversimplified this. Been almost 3 decades since I was in school.

    Wow 🤯... that's a lot of arithmetic there.

    So doe's this mean I should or shouldn't have to change the air in my tires at every other oil change? 😉

     The Honda ST 1300 had the same issue. And also had the warning of parking facing the sun. I rode to work allot in the summer so it would be parked for 8 hours , so I always covered dash with a white cloth big enough to hook under so as to not blow off . Keeps the gauges from fading also..

    Good idea...  I might begin carrying a white pillow case and bungee cord to cover the windscreen.

    There are plenty on the market... but I think the value comes in the way it is fitted on the bike. I will be looking to install these and then purchase any decent external system. This way I could inflate without having to remove the transducer cap.

    Not the prettiest... but exactly the type of convenience I am looking for.

    Did you try these T-Valves?

    How did they work out?

    Bar End Weights

    Oh yeah, my bad. Are you getting so much vibration on your bike that you need bar end weights? How many miles? It took about 1000 miles for my 2020 GT to smooth out. Now its butter smooth up to around 6k. Truth be told you could probably go with just about any weights with very minor modifications. You might even benefit from a throttle body sync.

    Yeah you're right. Vibs not that bad. I will put more miles on it and see. Just got it last month so I'll let it smooth out..

    Thanks..
