Tyre Pressures

Currently running BT014 Rear and BT012SS front, 42 &36 psi respectively, I understand these are the max pressures for Bridgestones.

The Manual states 30.5-33.5 front 32-35 psi rear

So I was thinking the pressures I'm running are a bit high


What's everone else running?

Check tyre manufacturers website. IT will tell you the correct pressures for your bike and tyre.

Had this same debate on the 749 forum

Now that I have been educated on this subject, your back tyre is far to high and will be subject to a faster wear rate

Try 32 frt, 34 rear.
