tyre pressure

[rufus t glasgow]

hi all


a wee quickie...


what are the correct tyre pressure's for a 98 fazer?


i have 'aqquired' a haynes manual pdf , however it is missing the 'daily pre-ride checks' where this info is.


any help would be great.

Öooo not a tyre pressure question :lol

Manual says - 32/36 for 98-01, 33/36 for 02/03


With passenger or high speed - 32/40 for 98-01, 33/42 for 02/03

I've always used 36/42, as i think a lot of other people do too.
Mind you, i'm not exactly the smallest person, i occasionally have passengers, and i've got a top box.
Whenever i get my tyres changed my mechanic uses those pressures as well.

For best tyre wear i'd go 36/42

I've found 34/37 psi to be the best with Bridgestone BT021s.
I'm fairly light though, you'll want more air than that in them if you're of average weight.

define average weight.


i was 102kg the last time i checked. :eek


i always ran about 2psi over recommended on my old divvy.


but thanks all that certainly gives me a starting point.

Blimey! So that's about 40kg more than me. :o
Oh well, I may be a weed, but I'll accelerate quicker. :rollin
Stick with the 36/42 suggestion and experiment, my freakishly low pressures won't suit you at all!
