    The pressure...

    I can't take it! Just kidding. I have my new Metzler Lasertecs installed now and looking in the Clymers, for some reason the special has its own special recommended tire pressure of 40 psi..? That seems high to me. Why is the special so different, and why so high?

          tire pressure

          All your larger bikes, run 40-45psi front and rear. They'll wear better without cupping. Just my 2cents and 40+years of riding.

                  Dunlop recommends, for our decked XS11s, 40psi rear and 36psi front.

                  They did a big study and said 80% of the bikes they checked were running underinflated.

                  Not sure about the specials....
                  Nice day, if it doesn't rain...
