• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The BRP recommended pressures are on a decal under your seat along with required fuel and other user information.
 
First of all, read your manual. BRP has recommended pressures. Try them first. We all have our own comfortable pressures. You will find your comfort zone in time.
 
Give it a try

There are many threads here on tire pressure. Most think it best to start at BRP recommendations (Front 18-22psi; Rear 26-30psi). I have my rear pressure at 28psi and it seems to work well. Could go up to 30psi if riding double and fully packed, but might suffer from additional wear on the center tread. I started the Front at 20psi and found it too soft with noticeable side play. I am now at 22psi and may go to 24psi for improved handling. Also remember the effects of the rear air shock, as it affects both ride comfort and weight distribution.
The best advice is Read, Understand, Experiment, Select.

Tough one..!!

depends on your ryding style. Do you mostly tour freeways and around town, backroads with hills and winding roads. Fast or slow..?? Are you worried about wear or performance..?? As mentioned above you have the suggested pressures from brp and that is a good starting point. That range plays a part in both your performance and your comfort so you may have to adjust your shocks (if your are adjustable). Not you want to hear but there is no right answer here. What works for others may not work for you. So try the lowest then the highest and go from there...:thumbup:
 
Thanks for your responses....

I definitely appreciated your responses & advice on my tire pressure question.
