what air pressure do you run?
 

does it depend on the tire or does everyone just follow the 36/42 psi on the side of the chain guard? this would be for normal daily highway riding with a little sport to it.

Om pretty much ok with the std suggested pressure's..

give or take a LB :rolleyes: I have been known to put 44 in the rear to cope with the misses on the back
(tends to stop the center wearing quite as wide a flat spot on longer runs ..) but even then, I would only bump it up if the run occurs at the same time as my monthly look see at the air in the tire's ..:D

but .. yer om slack with my pressures as a whole...
I am lucky to check mine once every mth :eek: and that's on a good mth !! .... LOL

BTW- to answer your question ...IMO most tires are very similar as far as the pressure's go..
Different peeps have there own idea of what feels the best and I think that would be the only reason for varying away from the std ..

38/42

Tire pressure
 

I have always run about 40 psi, but I was viewing a Boss Hoss Youtube video and it contradicted the way I always thought was right. The video was by Boss Hoss and it was about test riding the Boss Hoss. The video went through a pretest ride inspection. The tire manufacturer said the tire pressure should be 42 psi, BUT Boss Hoss said that the tire needed to be at 51/52 psi. Their reason was the front end weight of the Boss Hoss 502 beast....
I have seen car/motorcycle manufacturer recommendations that are different from the printed tire manufacturer's psi recommendation. Never understood why they were different, except I thought that the vehicle manufacturer had different tires on originally. Well, the reason is weight distribution (IE: Steve doubling up with the misses and more rear tire psi). So, Red (you Red Headed Slut drinker!), the psi that is run in the tires has a lot to do with weight distribution and tire size, but on a replacement tire, I would go with the tire manufacturer's recommendation (usually 36/42). Here is the Boss Hoss 502 video with the manufacturer's recommendation on psi being used because a 42 psi would make the front tire "cup" with only 42 psi - interesting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEOWihCbJvk
