Do you put 42lbs in your tyres?  I usualy run at 28 front and 32 rear unless I have a passenger in which case I put the rear up to 34.

Perhaps I should start a different thread?

This was a question I meant to ask a while ago, currently running at 32 front and 36 rear on my 550K3, guess I should let some air out of the tyres ??

What is the general view on correct pressures (solo) ?

26F
28R

I've not deviated since the 70's  (not on tyre pressures anyway  ;D)

170/60 x17" front @36psi
180/55 x17" rear @42psi

Pretty standard on most modern bikes.

Crikey Steve...i'm surprised that your bike goes around corners with that size front tyre...visions of a 'Tron' type bike come to mind....

SteveD CB500K0:
Typo    ::)


Front = 120/70


 ;D
