But you are...
I got your PM and address!
Thanks!

Mine never worked... I threw it away.

I just noticed where you are and your lucky as you are closer to Who Dat's in Bald Knob than I am.

BobnDee, I got my RT from Honda of Winston Salem.

Thanks! Was it an "electronic" pressure gage?

Since you are talking about tire pressure gauges, the book says 13PSI for front tires on a 2011 RT Limited, but the tire itself says 30PSI. Can I put 30 in? What would happen if I do?

The biggest problem is trying to get the front tires within the factory specs of ± 0.25 psig. Darn near impossible with a normal air gauge. That is why I invented the Dual Fill to get the front tires to the same pressure.

I run 17 psig in mine, I don't think you have enough weight to run 30 psig any how the tires say max load 386lbs at 15psig.

I put 22 PSI in front tires and 27 PSI in the rear tire.

Although the pressure recommended by BRP is 13 psi, the sidewall is marked 15 psi minimum. I would not go below that pressure. The 30 psi marking is usually the pressure at which the maximum rated load can be carried, but it may actually be a maximum pressure on some tires, depending on the wording. I would also not run this pressure on the Spyder, as the handling generally deteriorates at higher pressures. Most people seem to find that 20 up front on the RS and about 17-18 on the 2010-2013 RT (and a bit higher for the 2014 RT) seems to work best. No comments from the ST folks, but I'd try 20 there first. Remember that these are cold pressures, measured after several hours of being parked...preferably overnight. It costs nothing to experiment a bit, just stay within the minimum (if marked) and the maximum printed on the sidewall.
