What tire pressure do you guys use?

Im wondering what tire pressure everyone is running in front and rear tires. Right now i have 20 lbs in rear and i think 20 in front. My endos seem to go to the right a lot and im wondering if the tire pressure is the reason. I think i might need more but not exactly sure. When i have to much they are harder to control. Also what tires pressure are you guys running in the rear for wheelies?

Re: What tire pressure do you guys use?

try using the search feature...you will get tons of info
then you can also see what the "pros" had to say.
im only telling you this because you are only going to get info from people who can roll 2-3 feet that just want to post to post. cuz the people who can roll think there to cool to post up now a days...

i will tell you its obvious what the problem is if ur rim'n out.

good luck.

Im going to try 30 lbs and see how it does. I can roll them out pretty good but sometimes just wants to float over.

Re: What tire pressure do you guys use?

I've tried anywhere from like 18lbs to like 35. I can roll about 50ft on a good one, But constantly go to the right also, changing the psi had no effect on that. I think my body position or somethin is throwin me off, but theres not many people in this area that can roll out, so i got noone to spot me and tell me what i'm doin wrong

Im pretty sure my body position is good. I keep my body upright kind of huggin the tank and keep my elbows locked. Ive watched myself on tape, and looks pretty good with position and all.

i use 25 in the rear because it is perfect for slow stuff and you can still do highway good too...up front i run about the same or a little higher
