Default 05 Deuce tire pressure

&nbsp\\;If you have a 05 Deuce and maybe other model's, the manual is not correct. It says the front tire pressure should be 30 lbs the correct pressure is 36 single or 2 up. I just wanted to pass the information along. I hope my new tire wears better this time.

&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Manual says: 30 front 40 rear - two up.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Dunlop tire recommends two up pressure at all times.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Makes it easy to remember.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; It is 36 lbs for rear tire solo.

You go by the bike manufacturer, not the tire maker (same as you would with your car). Dunlops recommendations would be for a max. load, which is no good for the tire either. If you think there is something wrong with your manual (it could happen) then just have your dealer look it up, if the sticker is not on your bike anymore.
