Maybe, just maybe, if you gave a little more info than “need new helmet” you might get a better suggestion?

He's very quickly running out of help requests here tbh. What started off as some genuine requests for advice seems to have just evolved in to him thinking we're his ChatGPT, here to answer his every request no matter how ridiculous it is.

Sadly for him, he's exhausting peoples' patience and will soon find himself asking elsewhere.

Something like the below looks useful. Had anyone had experience with it?

How often do you inflate? I've checked the pressures on my ADV once in the two years and 5k miles I've owned it, it was bob on. If you're having to inflate frequently, there might be something wrong?


EDIT: Also to add, it was serviced as fortnight ago and the pressures were still bob on, meaning that in two years it hasn't lost a single PSI. I'd be checking my rims / tyres if I were you!

Yeah I’d been following along lately and was in a snarky mood already before reading it.
 
It's officially been 9 months since I sold my R6 and I can't take it anymore. I've gone from two bikes to zero. We still haven't moved house. I still haven't bought a new bike. Send help.

I have very less usage, so my bike may be in the garage for up to 3 weeks. I guess that plays a role with varying temperatures outside. No, I don't check pressure often and go with the feel. So maybe once in 2-3 months I may reinflate the tyres.

The idea is to make it convenient. Even with my slim fingers I find the front difficult. No issues with wheels or tyres.

Do recall you were riding about with hilariously low pressure not too long ago :p. So maybe check a bit more regularly :).

Edited to add: pressure will change with temps. So you'll find if you set it right last week when it was hot hot hot, by October - if it didn't lose any air - it'll read below.

Yes mate, that was when the bike was new to me and it had only done 8 miles in about 4 months with the previous owner. :)

Will keep an eye as the tyres are newish with only 900 miles on them.
 
Test fit of the new sports seat :D

I don't use this one but use a battery powered one with the same flexi screw on hose, but if you get one of those get one of these, makes it quick release, those with the flexi hose make it easy to attach to front wheels with a vertical valve.
