pressure

[d3ano]

Just a quick one.
Currently have S02 Bridgestones on the Chim, 16" on the back and 15" on the front. Whats the optimal amount of pressure that i should have in these tyres? I have about 30PSI all round and its a bit smoother whilst going over bumps, but i have a feeling that this isn't right.

Thanks

I think your running those a little high, I think you want to down somewhere around the 23/24psi mark, it should be in the handbook

i looked in the handbook and the Steve Heath book and neither of them mentioned it. Either that or i have gone blind.

From mammary... front 22-24, rear 24-27 (assuming 500 wheels/tyres)

Time to visit the opticians

Handbook says 22 for front and 24 for back.

I ran at about 21 and 23 respectively and upped it to about 24 and 26 for trackdays.
