Welcome. It depends on the manufacturer's specs, so look up their website and you'll find out - but as a standard it's usually 36f/42r  |

hi there im new to biking and my divvy900 is my first big bike which i love dearly, but im unsure about my tyre pressures can anybody advise me on what they should be thanks Hi and welcome. The Yamaha manuel says 2.5 bar front 2.9 bar rear fully loaded (which is 36 and 42 psi in real money) I weigh 14 stone-ish and use those pressures whether solo without luggage or two-up fully loaded and it seems good to me. I have Bridgestone Bt021 tyres on. In my experience (and from advice from the more learned members of this forum) I have found handling better with tyre pressures on the high side rather than on the low side. Even with them blowed up good and hard they still seem to suck the ground when you are trying to wheel the brute around, but that suckiness comes in handy when you've gone into a corner faster than you meant to. Guess how I know this? I haven't had my 900 for long, but I am growing to love it the more miles I do on it. |
