Pressure are supposed to be checked cold. I usually run 20 on front & 26-27 on my rt. I feel any higher in the rear is rough & slipping on short turns.

Many lb's...

Start with the recommended pressure from brp. You will have to find what suits you best. I ryde double up 17 fronts 28 in the rear all motorcycle tires. If your to high you will hop around a bit...:thumbup:

What he said! Find the recommended pressures on the sticker under the seat or, more important IMO, RTFM.

For your consideration

Try 20 PSI in the front and 30 PSI in the rear. This seems to be firm enough to take the twisties as hard as I can take them. I have the Baha Ron bar up front and the Fox shocks by BRP, adjusted up as high as possible . The nanny will cut in before it runs out of a**.

Everyone seems to be in the same ballpark. I run 19 up front and 28 in the rear. I used to run 25 in the rear with the OEM Kenda. Now 28 with the Kumho.

I used to stick with the BRP recommended numbers. 20 in the front, 30 in the rear was what Netzley Tire recommended to me at SpyderQuest, last year . . . I tried it out and am really happy with the results . . . even doing twisties, pretty hard, at the Ohio Spyder Rally in October.
