Hey, y'all

Do you guys have a favorite tire pressure that works best for your driving?

I have an 03 1300R. stock front tire, 200 rear, no bags, no windshield

I don't ride real aggressive, just kinda "get there and back" cause I have only been riding 6 months.

Any input? Right now, I've been anywhere from 24psi to 48psi on the front and 30psi - 48psi in the back... I'm 30/40 right now, and it feels sloppy.... It's suprising how much difference tire pressure can make.

[Dusty]

I run 38 front and 40 rear. Higher pressure will make your tires wear more even. And is what is stamped on the tire. I never understood why people wanted to not run what the mfg. recommended.
A little low gives a slightly softer ride but lower pressure also make the tire wear uneven faster. IMO

I am in the 40 range both front and back.

What Dusty said...

I ran mine at 39 front and back. Anything less than that will lead the tires, (stock Dunnys, anyway), to cup.

I agree.....high 30's to 40 on both. I does ride a bit stiffer, but you get much better performance overall.

And be sure you use only Honda air if you don't want to void your warranty.

Nothing but PINK air for my Black Beauty...   

[hangman]

Any one have any exprience with the flavored air?  I've been thinking about stopping by the local ADULT station to fill them up but a little leary.  I understand they have closed circuit tv's in those places and they sit around late at night reviewing the tapes.   

[hangman]

But all seriousness asside - I've been running 40 front & back in my Dunnies.  Thinking about switching over to the ME880 Meztlers.  You guys that have been riding the meztlers running the same preasure or what?

[jmdaniel]

Stay away from the flavor PARTIALLY DIGESTED CABBAGE. It's hard for them to sell, so they are always trying to offer a discount. Don't fall for it...

I like the french vanilla flavor and generally run 40/42, but I'm on the darkside. Not sure about the best flavor for Metzlers. Black cherry may work, but you never know until you smell the bumper...  

Be carefull hangman, those ADULT stations will sell you anything. AND, the local authorities have been known to watch the stations to see who patronizes them. You don't want your license number printed in one of those biker magazines. And be sure you get fully mature air, you don't want to get caught with underage air in your tires. It can cause them to wear immaturely.
