    Greetings from Perth. Have just replaced OEM Dunlops with 130/90 16 and 180/70 16 with similar sized H50's. Wondering what pressures you are running with. The OEM'S are 36 and 40 and I notice Max PSI on these are about 41 cold. Haven't found any recommendations so am running at 34 front and 36 back for the moment. All suggestions welcome! Cheers

    I’ve always been happiest with 38 front, 38 rear on my Fatbob (both OEM and now Avon Cobra’s).

    I can be a bit lazy when it comes to checking tyre  pressures so I usually blow both of them up to 40 psi.
    My thinking is within 10 %  either way is no big deal so if I forget to check them for a while I should hopefully still be within that 10% range.
    That theory should work if you check your tyres every couple of months.  
    I do the same with the car but you know how time fly's.  Last time I checked  they were all under 30 psi and the lowest was 23 psi.

    Ma Statesmans and GTS's and the Old ZC Fairlaines 40 PSI as constant.
    Harley front 36 rear 38 , seems to work .

     I usually use 36/38 when cold ,and i have checked them on longer rides when hot, and they go up another 2 pounds. That,s for the standard dunlops.405

    Tyre pressures are the single most important regular maintenance safety check you should do, especially on two wheels. Check mine once a week.
    Go with the bike's recommendation tyre pressure - whilst not exceeding pressure stated on tyre sidewall.

    same WG,check tyre pressures less than a day prior to a ride,pressures seem to hold well but still check [ and wifes bikes well ]along with oils ect.

    Thanks again for all the input blokes! Tyres well and truly scrubbed in, will experiment a little with different pressure.
