    Default F3-s tyre pressures

    My operator's guide refers me to the inside of the right side inspection panel on the bike. I cannot find any mention of tyre (tire) pressures. Or inside the left side inspection panel. Can someone tell me what they are, please?

    Yep those are OEM Kenda psi's ….. and every possible combination of PSI's have been tried to increase the mileage of the rear tire …. NOTHING works to help that issue ………….. However if / when you switch to Auto tires things will be quite different …. because of the Strength of Auto tires compared to the Kenda's ( or Arachnids ) ….. folks have used this range Fronts 15-18 psi …. Rears 16-19 psi , these numbers have developed over many 100,000's of miles …. so it's no longer guess work …. ride safe - ride happy ….. Mike

    I would say the correct tire pressures are what works for you. I run the fronts harder than 18psi as it give more 'bite' from the front tires and improves turn in to corners. It also raises the ride height a few mm which helps with speed bumps and getting in and out of my drive.

    So experiment a bit and see what you think.

    Look on page 182 of the Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, it is a free download from BRP.

    That is where the tire info is listed for the 2019 F3............ not sure what year you have. You did not say. If it is some other year the tire info will still be there in the Owner's Manual, but maybe on a different page.
