Are you talking PSI?

It depends on temperature etc.

Good to see you're checking them.

A change in temperature will also affect tyre pressure. My Wife told me the other evening that the Tyre pressure light came on in the car. That coincided with a drop in temperature and sure enough all four tyres were down about 2/3 psi. On other occasions normal "seepage" will drop 2/3 psi but both aspects need to be taken into account.

On the other end of the scale my former GL1800 actually picked up pressure one year as I progressed south through Europe into hotter climes.

Might be a leaky valve insert. Try loosening the stem let the eascaping air blow the crap out the re tighten, but not over tight. Re-set the pressure. little spit on your finger tip and wipe it across the end of the valve, if the film of spit stays in place all good. Any leak will push the spit off.

I am losing 0 psi per month. Check valves and tyres for slow puncture.
