Front Tire Info

[Dean H]

1) I have some ‘cupping’ on my front tire, what could be causing that? What tire pressure are you guys/gals running in your tires?

2) The front tire valve stem is quite difficult to get a pressure gauge up in there . . . has anyone put a 90° valve stem on the wheel?

We run the factory recommended 42 lbs. Yes that stem is a pain. Have not put one on yet but am thinking about it.

Dean- I also run 41 in my front. By the way It was great to meet you guys in Colorado. Thanks for the Pics, I put them on here. Had a good trip home except for some rain.
Take care, Terry

I run 42-43 on the front and 26 in the rear with 30 on the air shocks and all seam to be good.

I was running 30+ on air shocks and felt all the dips in the road and lowered mine to 15, and am experiencing a much smother ride.

I run 40 PIS in the front tire and 26 in the rear tires, I also run 15 - 25 in the rear shocks depending if I am riding alone or with the wife. It does have a smother ride when you don't have the max presure in the rear shocks.

I RUN 41 ON FRONT AND 25 ON REAR, WITH A DROP ON THE FRONT FORK ADJUSTMENT.....I REALLY HAVE A BETTER RIDE WITH "0" PSI ON THE suspension, BUT I USUALY RUN IT ABOUT 15-20 PSI....

I was told to lower the front shock setting by 1 click and go down on the air pressure to the 38-40 range and it sure does ride better and I don't notice the cupping I was starting to see either. I also posted this earlier !!

I'm with you ODDOMAN, I lowered my front shock and ride my air suspension at 15-20 lbs. I was informed originally to ride in the 30-40 range, but found that to be far too stiff. It now rides like a Lexus, in my opinion.
