Unstable ride feeling........

[Easy Rider]

After checking the tire pressure ( 18 F and 20 rear),

My book says 28 rear......BUT a friend of mine said our dealer told him that BRP recently revised that down to 20.
That seems like a HUGE change to me....and not sure if the story is true.

If the recommendation has NOT been changed, I would NEVER run a tire that much below the recommendation.
I still remember Firestones on the Ford Explorers.

Can anyone confirm or refute the story about a revised pressure recommendation for the rear ??

I still think you should go with the tire pressure that the owners manual says to use. And just see what happens.

That's where I started. Stayed there for about 2000 miles.
The "problem" continued the whole time.

17# front, 28 rear and don’t over inflate the rear bladder too much...30-35 is plenty in most cases . That seems to work the best for ME now barring any crazy roads or stiff wind!

My RTL takes care of the pressure for me.

I have it set at the lowest setting......and it seems to help a bit to have the back end down a bit.
I think it runs around 10 PSI but haven't checked it lately.

I finally got my 2013 RTSE5 out for a good ride since replacing the stabilizer bar. It hunted around the road. I did a laser alignment last fall when I got it together. It was still hard to hold straight. Put a good 30 miles on today with all types of road surfaces and I will say it handles like a whole different and better machine. I run 20psi frt and 30osi rear whith stock front tires yet. Only 14,000 miles on spider. Will definitely put cars tires on front when they wear down a little more.

This has me a bit confused.

What changed between those two "tests" ??

The tires probably had to get reshaped to the new set up. They was use to running one way. Now they have to reform to run another way. Its all in the way the tread is wearing that makes it ride different.
