how much air should i run in my tires

 

It depends on the tire but it should say on the side of the tire.

 

I ran 37front 39rear when I had my pilot powers...but yeah, depends on the tire

 

I run 30-30,but I run race tires.

I lower the pressure when the temp drops in fall.

 

Right now I have 34 in the front and 40 in the rear. Max is 36/42

 

Tire pressure is not by tire the pressure rating on the side of the tire.That ratingis the max the tire will hold. Tire pressure is measure by the product is on, Honda set the tire pressure for it bikes. Were as it is stated on theVIN stickeron the frame.

DO NOT FILL YOUR TIRE TO THE MAX IT WILL HOLD, ESPECIALLY ON A MOTORCYCLE. WILL CAUSE A BLOW OUT AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

 

It may be a bit dramatic to say your tire will blow out. The max pressure is the highest pressure that will still meet all of it's highway safety requirements at the tire's speed rating. However, it will needlessly shorten the expected life of the tire and result in a slightly smaller contact patch and therefore very slightly reduced traction. The moral of the story is don't inflate to the maximum listed rating. It may not mean imminent peril, but it doesn't help anything.

 

i asked the dealership on day while i was up there how much air pressure to run. considering i work at discount tire and know that air pressure is a major concern in performance and life of the tire. dealership said they run em at 30/33. front/back. i would deff not run the max psi. or even within 3-4 psi of it. just my $.02. and like said.... it should say on the frame.

 

30/33 is good.

 

A blow out can occur, especially in the summer when air androad is hotter. When the air in the tires heat up it expand and ifyou are at the max the tire will hold already, where will the air expand too. This will put stress on the rubber and blow at the leakest point. Not say it will happen, but 80 percent chance it will if you constancely have it at the tire max tire pressure rating.
