My 2010 RGC had 10 psi in it when I bought it. I like to run 40 solo and 50 with passenger.

Been LMFAO for the last five minutes - no disrespect, but this is the best one I've

The dealer who was too lazy to find and fix the leak. After all, if it was "designed" that way then all you do is keep adding air, no need to fix the silly things.

I see a lot of you are suggesting 40 to 50 psi. Just out of curiosity, has this number changed over the years? I have a 99, and the manual says max pressure on the shocks is 35 psi and 25 on the forks. If riding solo at 200 lbs, pressure should be 2 psi front and back. What gives? Just personal preference?
