Default Fat Bob Tire Pressure
Lost the manual for my 2010 Fat Bob and can't find the info on the sidewall of my tires. I am thinking the mannual said something like 36 up front and 40 on the rear. Am I remembering this correctly?

On the rear, 36 solo, 40 with passenger.

My last tire I ran 40 most of the time with passenger and without, seemed to like to handle better with 40.

The Fat Bob manual says solo 36/36 and rider and pass is 36/40...The funny thing is if you check your sidewall it say something different...

Thanks for the quick response guys. I'm riding two up most of the time so I guess that's why I remembered the higher number for the rear. Good to know my memory is still good, even if my eye sight is failing... still can't find the tire pressure info on the sidewall.

Tires display the maximum PSI they're rated for. The manufacturer's recommended levels take into account other stuff like bike weight, suspension compliance, etc.

Actually if you look on the sticker on your frame with the VIN, it will also list psi for both front and rear tires.
