    Done it now!

    Unintended, but went DS today. My Stonet is lost in FedEx land and I had to leave today. Made last minute calls and ended up with a Hercules 655. Only thing that makes me squirm is in a corner that bounces, she likes to wallow around now, other than that, I don't even notice the difference. Im loaded down, so maybe need to stiffen the rear. It's not a RF, NO one in town had one in this size, oh well, 40psi & off we go!

    Peanut butter cookies. With the crossed fork imprint That's old school

    As you probably know... play with the air pressure to find the "sweet spot"

    Cool

    Take pressure to 44# (cold) and try that..... still better than sitting at home.

    I bumped it to 41.5 this AM and it's better during dive ins, but still a little sloppy when there's bumps in the turns.

    I have a General G-Max and found most of the "squirm" is gone at 43 PSI. Single ply side wall radials definitely require higher running pressures. You are in control so don't hesitate in experimenting with pressure, up or down

    My tire says 2 ply sidewall. I did bump it another 1/2 today & firmed up the shock 5 clicks Monday. Felt good today. I hate to say it, but the only ill effect I've really noticed is it's easier to stand it up off the side stand now. Otherwise I'm greatly impressed!
