ElectricCircus,

I love your avatar. What breed of dog is that?

I don't know about the dog's breed (golden poodle, maybe?), just found on a video in the net:

But surely it felt on a mad coiffeur hands!

Good video

I once cut my dogs hair and it wound up looking something like this but no where near as neat

Handbook for the AKT TT AdvenTour 250 (in Spanish)

https://mega.nz/#!doRAmISb!swtY3fgRqoDyhOBSGvYQH_oxyoMHryHWHkbAJ4q 1yr0

I notice that the tyre pressures in this handbook are quite a bit lower than i have been using.

Think i will give these lower pressures a go as my stock tyres are badly worn in the middle already

Despite what the manual says, what is the pressure molded (moulded) in the tire sidewall?

Pressure too low can induce weaving/wobbling at higher speed as well as creating excessive heat. Riding in the dirt at lower speed is okay with lower pressure, but returning to asphalt needs normal pressure restored.

Regarding wear in the middle, have you tried shifting up from a gear higher than 1st? That allows one to actually LEAN in curves. An alternate plan is to load about 40 kg of weight on one side of the bike, then shift it to the other side once the tread has worn to compensate the weight bias.

Trust me, I read it on the internet.

Our owner's manual for the Corven Triax 250 here in Argentina says 25psi front and 28 back and that's what I'm using with good results so far.

That was a very nice video. I think your choice of music was excellent.

You are having very nice winter weather in Buenos Aires. What was the high temperature?

I love seeing videos and photographs of the RX3 from different parts of our world. I really enjoy our international members and their contributions to these forums.

Thanks! I really liked the mood of that song thats why I chose it.

We had a wonderful day here, started cloudy but then it was great for riding.

Tomorrow 21th marks the start of our spring season so more rides to come

For now we are getting temperatures between 10 and 20 celsius. Winter is long gone
