Title: tyre pressure request
Post by: pilgo on 16 February 2014, 03:16:59 pm: im running Avon storm ultra

AV55 front

AV56 rear

any recommendation as to the tyre pressures i should be using,as 42/43 psi sounds way to hard to me (off the side wall guide)

cheers chaps. :)

41 Rear

That's what i was told when I was changing to PR3's, is it not tyre dependent though?

Post by: JZS 600 on 17 February 2014, 06:01:03 pm: 32/36 if under 90Kgs (thanks Mr Yamaha!)

Post by: darrsi on 17 February 2014, 06:15:58 pm: I'm 100kg but if i went anywhere near 32/36 the bike would go into a wobbly shock!
36/40 is good for me now, i found 42 on the rear a tad too hard.

If you go to the Avon website, they give recommended pressures for each tyre/bike.

Depends on weight load, there's no way i could ride on those pressures. (32/36)

Post by: papercutout on 23 February 2014, 05:09:26 pm: Mine was around 36, 42 when I got it, but I only weigh about 60kg's, and it was really twitchy when I went over white lines, I'm happily at 33, 37 now.

Post by: stevierst on 23 February 2014, 08:32:04 pm: I used 34/40psi, and I'm 85kg in my birthday suit :eek. Handled really well for me. I even put about 40-50kg of luggage on the bike with those pressures with no bother.
Tried lowering the rear pressure a few times, but it wasn't right for me, a bit too wallowy when cranked over.
