Read the sidewall of the tire you want to chk/put air in. Recommended tire pressure will be written there.

This is wrong. We just had a thread on this.

The vehicle manufacturer takes many other factors into consideration when recommending the right tire pressure. Just putting the maximum pressure in , can be way off.

I used my owners manual for this info.
You can get them for free online from HD.

I ride mine 42 rear tire 40 front like to keep them high seems to give me the best tire life. Been doing this for the last 10 years never any problems. Start with your owners manual and play around with the pressures fine out were you like let and go for it.

From your other threads, I doubt you have the OEM tires. Non-OEM tires, always go with the tire mfg recommendation, usually found on their web site.

Not sure how old the tires are on your new ride, but check the rubber and/or mfg date on the tire as well.

For the rear shocks. How much do you weigh. What year is your bike? Are they stock shocks. Do you ride most often with max weight or the other way around? Never use a compressor on the rear shocks. Hand pump only. You will blow them/seals. Hand pump sold buy HD $50.00. Used they are around.
