Rear Tire gets hot?
After riding 2-up for about 30 miles at 60-65mph my rear tire seems way too hot on my 08 Deluxe. \\; The pressure was at 40 psi. \\; Is this normal? \\; I'm concerned about the tire failing from being to hot. \\; Any advice would be appreciated. \\; Thanks!

Greetings,

I wouldn't worry about it. It's normal and all's well.

Hey lilwilly, check your pressures cold. I believe in the manual the deluxe is 36psi and you add 4lbs for passenger.

40 PSI, measured cold is pretty typical for these bikes for two up riding. \\; An under inflated tire will run hot. \\; As long as your rear brake works OK, isn't dragging, the temperature is OK back there.
