Anyone know a good range for the tire pressure on the stock Dunlops?
I see 36psi for the front and 40 for the rear, but I just bought the “FOBO Bike 2” tire pressure monitors. Pretty cool. It asks for you to set a range before you get an alert, so how far above and how far below should I set that?

I don’t have a manual and could not find this online.
Thank you!

I run Avon Cobra Chrome and like an extra couple of psi in the rear, so I run 36 front and 42 rear. But that's just personal preference.
FOBO Bike 2 is awesome! Saves me having to check tyre pressure using those 90 degree elbow adaptors before every ride....

As others have said - 36 front and 40 rear should be target pressures on the stock Dunlop tyres.

Next time install 90 degree valve stems, makes life much easier...

I don't know why the factory doesn't put something like that in from the get go. Seems stupid to design it so you can't use a standard air attachment without an adaptor.
But - I did ask to have those fitted one time when I changed tires and the tire guys said they really didn't recommend it and had seen problems in the past.
Even so.....the FOBO monitors are an excellent piece of kit.

SHUHZAM! Wcb007, the bike looks killer with the new tank, bars and fairing. Can i ask for a pic of the front, so i can see the fairing? Does it keep the wind from pummeling you to death? I have the same color-way on my 19 and wanted to see how a black fairing will look. Gracias amigo!

WeeDogg! 007, i am digging it man. Is it the rocket fairing? Ive been looking at the memphis shades or the rocket, been wanting to see more pics of all of them and hear feedback. I would love that fairing and do a little custom work. Does it help out at all with the wind?
