What's your tyre pressure? - SV650.org

02-05-06, 09:31 PM

According to my TV, 90% of uk road users have either high or low tyre pressures.

So what have you got? get out there and check them! I'm not sure off hand whats bang on I think its 1000000000psi

So are you a 90 percenter?

Thanks for asking.

One of them regular weekly things for me (now), I used to be very unreliable until recently. Boy do you notice the handling improve with that few extra PSI.

Now bang on the mark.

Check 'em every time I go out. For all the time it takes especially compared to kitting up, it just makes sense.

Someone suggest running the front slightly high on the bt020's which has seemed to imrove the handeling

run the rear at 36

what else does everyone else run bt020 at?

My Roadtecs are sitting pretty at 36/39. Some run them harder, some run them standard, but this seems to work for me. And the Sportec on my spare wheel is at 33.
