Default How much air pressure

So I tried searching and either suck at it or my phone sucks.

I was wondering what people are running for air pressure on the Dynas with stock tires ?

Mines a 16 LR

Thanks for any help.

Most users will run slightly lower if they ride aggressively (larger contact patch) while some may run higher if they want longevity.

That information (and more) is all in your owner's manual.
But more to the point, what kind of handling issues are you having?

I was just wondering if anybody was doing this to change handling or if a slight change would do nothing, or if everyone was just running the recomended air pressure.
Not having any problems.

Tire pressures make a difference. The manual is a starting point and a good baseline. From there u can make the adjustments depending on your riding style. Tons of articles out there regarding tire pressure.

Personally, my 07 Dyna with Michilin Commander II's likes 32/38 psi. Handling is crisp & precise. I found this out by experimenting with the air pressure. Each bike setup is different, such as saddlebags, rider weight, big touring seat or solo seat. One thing to remember - do NOT go lower than what HD "suggest" you tire air pressure should be.
