Prior to recent times it was a time honored tradition to spend the night after picking up a bike going over it looking for flaws. Tightening loose bolts, checking fluids and giving the wrenches a good workout. A bike was not a car. It was a personal item and getting to know it was part of the allure.

Now people buy bikes and scooters without owning tools is the norm. It does something odd and back to the dealer it goes. Older riders found and repaired issues. I find it unsettling that finding low air pressure is seen as the dealers fault. I have a two compressors, a floor pump and two air pressure gauges. Also my thumbs can squeeze a tire.
