normally I would just tell you to download the manual(s). ;)
But yes, it´s correct.
Congratulations for the new bike. Hope it`s a good one.

yep, a bit more than recommended in the front seemed to make handling a little better with the old tires.

A few more PSI probably made the profile a bit taller.............. like the alternate size fitted to the blade ! :shock:

not so much more :lol:
3psi are sufficiant. According to tire manufacturers and dealers I talked to in the past this is in limits that will not make much difference in wear.

Thanks for the advice. i had looked in the manual but asked because I wonted to tap into the experience of others who, like me, might not be as slender as they used to be :-) I run my R1200RT with slightly higher pressures as it handles much better that way, especially two up

I'd be happy at 16 stone only another 3/7 to go from 20 a year ago :beer: :beer: :beer:
