Tyre Pressure?

What tyre pressures are folk running in their bikes? I've got Arrowmaxes fitted and wondered if there was an optimum pressure or just a bit of trial and error? Is Scottish air lighter than English air?

I tend to go with about 35 in the front and 40 at the back. Handles shit though !!

That's because your wheels are too black ;}

I think my rear shock is shot. Got a new/old Ducati Monster one that is supposed to fit. Going to fit it at some point. Will paint it black

I run mine at 30 front 38-40 rear no worries. But then my wheels are standard colours!

Since my wheels are standard too I'll go with the Chairmans recommendation.
And H, you non-Katana owning philistine, the pop-up was called the flip-up in my day - I'm old-skool dontcha know...now is it an S3 or an SE? Or both?

I think mine have 32 & 36 in them but they are bandit wheels so don't count

I have white wheels and run 32 & 36 in Scottish air
The manual says 225 & 250 kPa... unless it's Canadian
