    Tire Pessure

    What do you set the tire pressure at?

    I read:

    Front = 36 psi

    Rear = 41 psi

    I believe you'll find the consensus around here for getting the best life out of the OEM front tire is 40 psi. Most riders that I know have experienced cupping in the front tire when running much below that. The rear around 40 psi should be in the ballpark but may need slight adjusting up or down depending on how you see the tire wearing.

    I think most riders on the board run 40/40 psi most of the time according to what I have read...I try to keep mine at this level and sometimes lower the front to 37/38 psi as Michigan roads are the worst "cow-trails" in the country and it seems to reduce the harshness in the front somewhat....Ride safe...

    I have it set at:

    Front = 41psi
    Rear = 41psi

    I just got back from an hour long ride in the twisties.

    I usually run 40/40 unless I have the trailer behind bike, then I run 42 out back. Exc tire mileage so far.

    I agree with the goat tracks. 38/40 seems to work for me.

    40/41 works for me but as said lower in the front smooths out the front .
