hello,
recently had my new tyres fitted and was going to check/adjust tyre preasures, does anyone know the standard tyre preasures? and if anyone rides them non standard, what do you go for? and how do you find it? |

My sv650 owner's handbook says 33F 36B (psi) [pressure] but someone on here said that tyre manufactures standardise on 36f and 42B I use the latter and it certainly 'feels' better.

I'm on 33/36 at the moment, but I'll be moving to 36/42 once I'm convinced my suspension setup is alright (had a bit of a moment yesterday).

Yeah the recommended pressures are fine, though I always run 36F 39R. It feels slightly better, and can cope with the contraction of a cold day without dipping under the recommended pressures.

Interesting, I'll give it a couple more front and rear next time I check 'em.
