Pressure are supposed to be checked cold. I usually run 20 on front & 26-27 on my rt. I feel any higher in the rear is rough & slipping on short turns.

Start with the recommended pressure from brp. You will have to find what suits you best. I ryde double up 17 fronts 28 in the rear all motorcycle tires. If your to high you will hop around a bit...

What he said! Find the recommended pressures on the sticker under the seat or, more important IMO, RTFM.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

For your consideration
Try 20 PSI in the front and 30 PSI in the rear. This seems to be firm enough to take the twisties as hard as I can take them. I have the Baha Ron bar up front and the Fox shocks by BRP, adjusted up as high as possible . The nanny will cut in before it runs out of a**.

Everyone seems to be in the same ballpark. I run 19 up front and 28 in the rear. I used to run 25 in the rear with the OEM Kenda. Now 28 with the Kumho.

I used to stick with the BRP recommended numbers. 20 in the front, 30 in the rear was what Netzley Tire recommended to me at SpyderQuest, last year . . . I tried it out and am really happy with the results . . . even doing twisties, pretty hard, at the Ohio Spyder Rally in October.
