Riding down PCH yesterday at a slow pace enjoying the cool weather and the nearby ocean breeze. Slowed down going into San Clemente and when I got to about 5 MPH approaching a stop light, the front started bouncing up and down at regular intervals.
Parked the bike and found a "blister" sticking out along the center line of the front tire. The damn thing measures @ 1" high x 2" wide X 12" long!
I hate to think what would have happened if this had occurred at high speed like on last week-ends run to Big Bear.
TPMS read 45.5psi at the time. 46.5psi rear. Front was @ 41.5psi, rear @ 42psi when I left the garage.
I dropped the pressure to 32psi and limped home.
@ 6000 miles on this tire with plenty of meat left. I took some pictures with my cell phone, I'll see if I can figure out how to insert them later. right now I'm going to take the Harley fro a ride up the coast.
