Tyre pressures

[Naz]

Looking forward to my first ride this weekend

I have new AC10 tyres fitted to my Honda SL230 and was wondering what the tyre pressures should be for green laning?

Also, I will be riding about 15 miles there and back on tarmac.

Any advice please?

Cheers.

Naz,

I'm no expert myself but I have the same tyres on a KLX250 and 21psi in front and back - I have ridden on lanes and tarmac with these and it felt good to me

However, I am sure there will be more tried and tested (and reliable) information from others to come.

Look forward to meeting you Sunday

Bit subjective this one. Ten riders will give you ten differing opinions...............

Mine is - around 14PSI (12 - 14ish) front and rear for green laning.

Any more and you become entertainment for other road users.

Much less than this and you are more likely to pull a puncture (unless you have mouses) and become entertainment for your fellow riders

Hmmm...

I'll go for 18 then and see how it behaves

Look forward to meeting you Sunday

Paul

See you Sunday Paul

Everyones different, but a good starting point, id set thé pressure the same as the wheel size, ie 21 front 18 back and mess about with them from there, but I would suggest not to low unless you have rim locks fitted.

Good point about rim locks - I don't have them.
