Goofeychuck Posted November 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2009 what are the pressures that I should have in the front and rear shocks? Riding empty and alone and with a passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted November 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2009 Front as low as 0 to max of 7lbs Rear.... It all depends on how you like the ride. Best to experiment.....sorry for the poor answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted November 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2009 Just my opinion..and I'm sure others will have theirs.... Riding by yourself = 3 lbs front and 25 lbs rear Riding with passenger = 3 lbs front and 25 to 30 lbs rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted November 10, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 10, 2009 Just don't go over 7 front and 50 rear. Those are the max's according to the manual anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted December 31, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 31, 2009 Lets open up this board again. I have the 2007 Knowing its under warranty, the shop has me watching the front shocks.. started with front end shake (maybe the new front tire?) Had it balanced, alittle better.... shocks lost half its air. shop said the front should have max 10 lbs up front, and up to 50 in rear shocks ( 50 fells okay), but front shock makes the bike fell like (squermmy)? It fells like, the tires are slipping (like on oil) for a split second, every few, feet. Been riding secondary roads, and staying off the highways, til I figure it out. when I bring it into the shop next week, I'm going to have them also check the front bearings AGAIN!!! and the swing arm & rear Hub ( new tire) anyone have something like this happen to them?

Freebird Posted December 31, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 31, 2009 Well...to start with...your shop needs to read the manual. Max PSI for the front shocks is 7 psi. I wouldn't think that 10 would have blown the seals but it may have. I typically run about 35 psi in the rear and usually zero in the front.
