Well, it's going to depend on the size of your tires and typical loaded weight (do you carry a passenger? a spare tire? a spare tire on the passenger?). But check your tire tread to see if it's weari

Hi guys, This is what I've always been told by people. The end with the more weight the higher the pressure. On modern tyres I tend to run 32psi Front and 30psi Rear. This is normally good with a pas
