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 owners manual has all the information regarding tire pressure along with many other facts if just someone would take the time to read it. If you have OEM tires, 20 Fronts & 28 Rear. These amounts aren't cut in stone and can vary according to your riding style, but give you a good starting point.

The manual recommendations are a good place to start. Adjusting up or down a # or so at a time will help you to find that magic spot. I am currently using 26# in the rears to try to slow down the "ballooning" effect which usually wears out the center of the tire first.

Kenda's or not Kenda's That's the question
Right, I should have led with that WhiteyRon, are you still using the factory Kenda's or have you switched to other brands. AKSpyderman and Ex-Rocket make excellent points if you're using stock kenda's.

My RT is a 2010 with 60K miles. I run between 15.5-17lbs up front, I weigh 225lbs and have upgraded "works performance shocks" My first set of tires wore out on the insides first, my second set I had an alignment done by squared away. They are wearing much more evenly.
All my tires are stock
You need to experiment with what works for your riding style. I like a firm in control ride. When I ran with 20 & 22 lbs upfront, this feeling was not stable for me where others would swear by it.
For the rear tire 28-32lbs. 32 if 2 up or towing. Trying to get air in the rear can sometimes be a pain. I invested in a great set up, a CA air tools ultra quiet compressor #5510A with a digital flexible tire inflator so I can easily attach and put in desired amount of air without having to numerous times check and add, and check again
What pressure are you currently running and how is that working for you?
