Tire pressure

Post by Mtngoat » Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:39 pm

I'm currently running Kenda 270's on my XR650L with 18 psi front and back. That seems to be fine for gravel and hardpack but I'm wondering if I should be pressuring up for highway speeds. Is there much danger of rolling the tire off at that pressure? Suggestions greatly appreciated. :shrug:

You can check the manual for recommended pressures. On my DRZ it is 18f, 22r for on the road. So you aren't doing too bad, I would say.

It'll feel better on the road with more, but it's not unsafe.
