Correct Tire Pressure
I recently got a 2006 Heritage Softail Classic FLSTC and need to know what the correct tire pressure should be ??
 \\;
The manual I received with this bike does not tell me the recommended pressure. \\; I just checked the tires and the rear is at 38.5 and the front is at 31.5.
 \\;
I am a solo rider, never 2 up, and about 120 pounds.
 \\;
Any advice ? \\; Thanks

RE: Correct Tire Pressure
Oh, I forgot to mention that the bike has the stock (Dunlop) tires and I was able to see on the front tire it says 40psi. \\; Too dark out right now so I couldn't see what the rear tire said.
 \\;
Also, I read in another post that you should not go by the 'tire recommendation' but rather what the manual says........but the manual does specify this.

There should be a sticker somewhere on the bike that gives axle weight ratings and recommended tire pressures. Might be on the swingarm or steering head.

36 front/36 rear solo riding.
36 front/40 rear with passenger.

Wow, \\; Then that means my front tire is really low !! \\; Will definitely be correcting that.
