What are you all running for tire pressure, for the street?
OK. So, Lee's Cycle says to use 34 lbs. on the street. I had a conversation with Golden Child and he says to use 40-42. I do a lot of slab riding and 15-20% twisties. Does this info pin it down a little closer? I'm leaving for a short ride at 6:30 this morning, want to get out before the sun melts me (105 yesterday). I'm going to try 38 for today, but other recommendations are welcome.
40-42? I don't think Golden Child had his morning shot of caffeine when he told you that. I don't think you'll find any experienced rider who would agree on that one. 40 psi certainly won't hurt the tire but it will the as hard as a rock and the contact patch my be reduced to the size of a nickle? But, you will get better fuel mileage, no doubt.
