Pointy tyre pressures? - SV650.org

Shellywoozle · 01-01-11, 11:15 AM

Getting the bike out, I admit I have never checked the bike air, something done for me. But since bike has not been used what pressure should be in each tyre.

Fankoo

Those recommended pressures assume a dry road and normal temperatures. I'd be lowering pressures 10-20% in an effort to raise the tyre temperature and increase the contact patch for the cold that you have now.

Depends on the tyres, 33/36 is ok, 30/33 is a bit better if you want to scratch in this weather

Just play around if you feel the need, makes a big difference to how it handles.
