there should be a placard on your bike giving you the recommended tire pressure for that model. if you run your pressures too low like a lot of these guys (love ya'll by the way), your tire life won't be nearly as long...

I dunno, I'm over 6000 miles on my current set of Pilot Powers. They are just getting to the tread wear bars.

I dont run my tirepressure toolow, but rather I run the correct pressure for the load they are seeing. Again, The suggested tire pressure on the side of the bikes swingarm is for maxload. Most people ride thier bike half of what the max load.

i think most say it on the tire i know mine do

its more than that but i dont know for sure
The posted PSI on tires is not a guide to what PSI to run...it is the MAX psi that tire is rated for....

check the tire pressure while the bike is cold and hasn't been ridden in at least a few hours... fill them up to the PSI listed on the VIN tag on the frame. It shouldn't lose more than a pound or two in a month. Check the tire pressure every week.
