Post by 4away »

Hi,
Could anyone advise me on the air correct pressure to put in the front forks of a 750 paso for best handling.

Thanks,

Al

There SHOULD be atmosphere air pressure inside front fork!!!! Never put higher pressure inside from top valves!!!!!
Those top valves are, that U can take pressure out from forks, cause small amount of air flow via "slider bearings" to inside forks and it should NOT BE THERE. :thumbup:

No air in the forks.

I find that the handling is very sensitive to air pressure in the tires. The front in particular. I'm at 36 in the back and 35 in the front.

Really? On the frame, it specifies different tire pressures - like 37 rear and 34 front or something. I don't remember off the top of my head ... haveta to look & see. That's what I'm running on the Metzler A59s ...
Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.
