    Default ST tyre pressures

    Sorry if this has been asked before.
    I have checked in the 2013 ST owners manual and it states 1.03 bar (15psi) for the front tyres and 1.93 bar (28psi) for the rear tyres.
    What tyre pressures are other ST owners running ?
    If you are running higher than the recommended please explain why and what difference you have found.
    Also do you increase them when riding 2 up ? and what do you increase them too ?

    I usually stay at about what they recommend. My wife is a light weight so I require no adjustment for her.

    I run 18 front and 28 rear.

    I took the recommendation from BajaRon because he has been riding longer than me.

    I don't change for 2 up because that would be a pain. Lol

    Default Let's see..!!

    though I do not have an ST I run 18 lbs in front and 28 lbs rear when ryding the back roads, hills and twisties. This gives me better taction and less roll on the front. If doing long runs on freeways, run lower to save tire wear from balooning. This is on our RS. We ryde the back roads the most and that being said we have 19,500 miles, rear has maybe 500 left the fronts look new...
