Hi all, after google;ing NC27 tyre pressures I came across a site that gave factorypressures in bar,s 2.1 front------2.5 back, as this equates to roughly 30 psi front/36 psi rear, after being away from bikes for over 20+ years is this right, as I do not have any handbooks to check.

At mo front is running 26psi front/30psi rear,any ideas to what they should be.

Many thanksin advance........Scott

Normal pressures for most bikes are 36/42.

What Tyres are you using? Check the manufacturer's website for more info.

Bump it up about 4-6 psi front and rear. That is what I ran and it is close to the bike and tire mfg recommended pressures. I used 32 and 36 in the Pirelli Diablo's and 30 and 35 in the Bridgestone 003R. If you stay reasonably close to this range you won't go wrong. Try a test route with a bunch of corners back to back and see what feels most comfortable. Using high pressures may make the bike feel very skittish in the wet.

Will try 30 front/36 rear see how it behaves, easier to let some out than phaffing to a garage etc.
thanks for info.
