Motard pressures
Any idea what pressures to run in the tyres for road use?

Re: Motard pressures
Normal road pressures John...... say 32 - 36 psi depending on the temp & the tyres

Re: Motard pressures
I always went really low. About 19 or 20 in the front and about the same in the rear. The old tards don't pump the heat into them like sports bikes do.

Re: Motard pressures
I wouldn't want the rear to bag, there is not enough tyre as it is

Re: Motard pressures
I run 20 on the front at all times.
Need it soft got generate heat.
20 on the rear at track, and about 24 on the road.
But most of my motarding is hitting twisties.

Re: Motard pressures
I agree with Watie, I ran 20/25 front and 25/30 rear.
