crazypj said:What size AVON's did you get?
90/90 and 110/90?
I think you'll be a lot happier with them, handling should improve dramatically
Personally, I think bike looks faster already ;D
trek97 said:yep...90/90 and 110/90. The old rear was a freakin monster. I couldve put the avon inside it.
I wouldnt know about faster...hasnt stopped raining since yesterday morning. :
Mileage should improve though. 28-30psi in the old. These new avons require 42psi.
mydlyfkryzis said:The recommended pressure from Honda is 26 Psi front and rear. I'll post the label on the chain guard when I get home
I used to put the higher pressures in, but I find the bike handles and rides better with the recommended pressures....
crazypj said:Modern tyres have a different construction and almost always need higher pressure. I run 30~32f / 33~36r
mydlyfkryzis said:Here's the label.
I would follow the manufacture of the tire recommendations for loads. The Honda factory label is for Bridgestone OEM tires. But I expect the desired pressures will be close to the OEM recomendations.
Try different pressures, see how it handles, see if the tires are getting warm or hot. Hot is bad.
I remembered 26, was actually 25....ugh....I am getting as old as CrazyPJ
