Just curious: my stock tire sidewalls say 41 psi rear, and 40 psi front.

Is this the number you would use when topping off the air, or would you use something lower? I ride by myself (170#).

Thanks! Keith

 

I am a solo rider, never carry passenger, weigh 165, front tire 30psi rear tire 36psi, smooth ride.

 

Are you on the stock tires, and are they the same "recommended" psi?

 

Yes, stock tires and specs from the manual.

 

Got it... thanks! (eh!)

 

personally, I use 36 in the rear, and 34 in front. I ride 2-up quit a bit, and that seems to handle best for me.

 

Your owners manual will recommend different tire pressure than what is on your tires. I follow the owners manual and up both the front and rear by 2 lbs.

 

This is what our local HD shop recommends as well.

 

i use 32 f - 38 r (got this from the tire manufacturer and she looked up my ride (2007 883 low). Interestingly, my manual says nothing about tire pressure!
