Fully loaded Tyre pressures

[Bryn]

On my last 1200Gs it was 36/42 for every situation......I'd prefer not to keep messing with the prtressures when I'm carrying the boss and Luggage...anyone run theirs on 36/42 all the time?

(Purely on road I'd guess)

It depends on what tire and brand............... I run my K60's 38/40 all the time 24/7 in every condition..

I'm on the OEM tyres..Battlewings

I run Yamaha max pressure recommendation front and back (max pressure is different only for back tire) all the time.

Thanks for the replies folks... I'll try leaving it at fully loaded pressures and see how it goes ::26::

33/36 unloaded
33/42 loaded
That's what the manual says. I've always used these pressures, both on the original Battlewings and on the Metzler Tourance I'm now using. Never had a problem. I ride nearly always on paved roads.

I run about 36/38 most of the time. Keeping the pressures up helps gas mileage and to prevent cupping of the tread blocks. If doing a fast twisty pavement weekend I reduce them to about 32/34 because the bike slides less.

I run 38/40 all of the time. Just easier that way. I have played with the tire pressures and seem to get better mileage and tire wear.

We're off for a few days this coming Monday on the bike... Two up with luggage. I'll try 36/42 and see how it goes . It certainly sounds like I don't need to keep altering the pressures according to the load ::003::
