nevets Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I think its a Thai thing , my wife had a blow out on the motocy well she goes and gets it fixed , i say to her you should make sure there is air in the tyre and the right pressure. She says she has it done at the garage and i go check , well we have 8 psi in the front the one that's just been done and 11 in the back.

maxme Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Or could have been the fault of the mechanics in India who did a sloppy checkup before the plane took off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is inexcusable, should be at least 50 psi all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
