Front tire pressure

[Rocket Scientist]

I have an "old" R3. I'm running an Avon Cobra 140/75 on the front. I've been running 38psi in it. I just noticed it says max load at 42psi. What are you guys running in yours ?

 

[Tripps]

38 front, 42 rear, since bike was new, seems to work fine

 

[kipper]

34 front 42 rear works for me

 

[Mighty Mouse]

40 rear and 38 front. This suits my 185 lbs best for comfort on my Cobra Chromes. Kind of trial and error until you find what you like.

 

[MIG]

36 in the front and 42 in the rear... and I also run Cobra Chromes. It's always given me the right feel and it's actually what I run in all my cruisers.

38 when I remember to check it...Avon cobra

 

[ehh]

36 hot front and rear as per advice from my tire fitter. (Bridgestone tires)

38F/40R or 42 if carrying a load (wife).

38F/40R or 42 if carrying a load (wife).

Wait until I tell her that you referred to her as a load.
