Re: Tyre pressures SV650S?
Well i went with what suzuki say n put 36 in the back n 33 in the front n it feels a bit quicker n easier to lean the bike from one side to the other. Also rained on the way home in a big downpoor which is best described as biblical and the bike felt fairly stable so..... Thank you all for your help, another problem solved by the wise sv.org elders

Re: Tyre pressures SV650S?
I would go with the manufacturers recommended pressure as tyres do vary in their construction.
i.e. Triumph recommend 36 front 42 rear but the new Michelin recommendation for their tyre is 34-40. I would presume that the Suzuki recommended pressure is for the OE tyre that they fit and not the alternative you have chosen to fit |

Re: Tyre pressures SV650S?
IMO it was misleading and incomplete.

Re: Tyre pressures SV650S?
Reviving this thread, as my bridgestone is starting to feel low/look low too... and was looking on here for rough pressure people are running.
Manufacturers rating is for the tire size, so that will be your general PSI, however riders all have a preference whether it be more or less according to rider weight, road conditions, and bike handling etc. When you take your bike in for your service, the guys generally set your rear pressure to 34-36PSI. No idea what mine is currently, will check tonight on way home and inflate and will feedback later. Never really filled up my tyres before, they usually get a puncture or wear out before then |
