Thought I detected some smartassedness and thought I'd return the favor.

This is the method I use now with my Dunlop E3's. I get marginally improved ride, handling and tire wear for the effort.

 

I have been riding motorcycles for a lot of years, I must say I never have given tire pressure that much thought. Check them cold one in awhile and just ride. Guess I had it all wrong...

 

You are adequately perceptive. Had you made the second post initially I would not have felt the need to "encourage" your sharing of the information that you claimed you had in your actual first post. Enjoy your tantrum, I have.

 

Essentially thats what it amounts to near as I can see. The difference is only in the initial determination of what cold psi you want. Some guys just pump er up to "max load" cold psi levels per what it says in their manual. They may not even realize there's an option. Others determine "actual load" cold psi levels and keep pressures at that. I prefer the latter option but honestly don't see it as a great big deal either way. We're talking a 15 minute effort over the life of a set of tires and the results, though noticeable, are hardly life changing.

 

I heard if you don't use HD air it may void your warranty.

 

Gotta say, Jim did a pretty good job of explaining the importance and science of tire pressure in his thread!
