It depends..

Guys..

My opinion is that air pressure is always variable uppon the use of the bike..

I use the Bridgestone's BT10 tyres and for airpressure i have 31 F and 33 R for solo and sport driving..

When i load the bike with my cases etc i use 33 F and 35 R again for solo driving. When i have also a passenger i use 35 F and 37 R.

Also always remember to adjust the preload on the bike.

My suspension is optimised for solo sport driving in all cases.


Of course have also in mind that here the temperatures are always high..

30-35 C

So..

all these are variables..

31 F and 33 R for solo ?? And it does not feel like a jelly on acid? I'm 36F 40 R

hell - THAT would feel like a strawberry trifle to me....

Tire pressures in the low 30's would be ok for someone built like this.



But if you're a big guy closer to the 40's would work better.

It also comes down to how careful you ride and if you like to lean.

It also depends on the condition of your roads...potholes etc...our rims are very soft.

btw...I like to run mine as soft as I can get away with...around 36-38.

32R - 34R is recommender for high temperatures and sport driving. As the tire is softer it touches the ground more and gives you a higher level of grip..

What can i say? I tried and it really works

All guys here we use this tyres pressures and we have bikes like R1, HONDA SP2, R1150R, R1100S, R1200GS, ZX10R etc

Sorry Mate, but I have to disagree on running with low pressure - it's counterintuitive but the extra rubber making contact does NOT stick you to the road better at all. You get better control having your pressure a little high compared to a little under. Metzeler did some studies recently comparing footprint area and stick and that was their result. (I think there's even an article about that in the August Motor Cyclist magazine)

Suit yourself, but best of all is to stay within the manufacturer's limits and check it often, he said piously.

Rockster-Cyp........I have to assume that you are running the stock tires and you weight more than 150 pounds (70 kilos). Can you do me a favor?

Air your tires as you indicate and take a ride of 20 to 30 miles (50km), then stop the bike and measure your air pressures.

Please post the initial and final pressures for the front and rear tires and I'll share my oppinion with you.....

Thanks,
