Tire pressure

[sillysoviet]

Hello everyone. Was unable to find any info in regards to proper tire pressure. Wondering if anyone has info or links to pressure to weight ratio charts.

Currently 225lbs and mounting some new tires tonight. Prior i had my 160/60's set to 36psi which i find to be little low to my weight.

Any help is apprecaited. Thanks.

Clutch side of swing arm has tire pressure chart.

I'm 190 and run mine 33 front 36 rear. Sometimes if I want a little extra grip in corners I'll drop a pound or two at each end.

If you want better grip lower the tire pressure on front & rear by a 3psi,
it will feel slightly (only slightly) more mobile when cornering, as in your may feel the bike roll sideways across the tire.
Otherwise as Riccochet stated 33/36 is perfect for street tires

Check your cold pressure before you leave then ride for 30 minutes and check them again...

+10% Front, +20% Rear hot psi is a good rule of thumb and compromise between grip and longevity. Too much pressure will not heat up the tire and you will have poor grip.
