looking straight in my face

Hi all,

Well I thought it was about time to get back on the old zx9r again after my little road slide a few months back.

Quick wash, buff and shine.
lube,adjust and tweek

the old beast looked good and started with a roar. next moment a quick blast around the block just to test things out.
still not feeling right I decided to go through the suspension setup again and quick round the block again......still not right!!!!!

then the best advice I could have recieved...from my 17 year old son.......front tyre looks a little flat...aaaahhhhh!!

the most important thing to do and completely overlooked. pressure was at a measly 22psi on the front so a squirt of air up to 34psi to start and already feeling great and back was fine at 38psi

so remember to check those tyre. they may look good to you but always check before a ride, every ride.
