As I'm waiting patiently for the haynes workshop manual to come from U.K. to Oz, I was wondering if my tires were the right pressure.

Currently they're at 32/34 front rear, and the rear is a 160/60.

It sounds a bit much but the front still feels soft when contacting the lip of a driveway.

I have no intention to have a pillion on the back, so there's a rough static weight of 85-90Kg of me including all kit.

Any advice will be most welcome.

Track or road? 36 front and rear on the road, or 30 on the track is about okay (for the UK)

pure road, what U.K. journos' call "B roads".

Not a daily work and back ride.

Same applies - I was thinking more from a climatic point of view. I don't know how your average temperatures would vary from the UK. Stick to 36 front and rear and you'll be fine. If you want to be real fussy though, the Honda service manual says 33 front and rear, unless you have a passenger then its 36 rear.

Cheers Malc,

I did a "red Mist" ride Tuesday night on the current 32/34psi settings and the front feels a tiny bit bumpy, but the rear seems to feel a little too eager to bounce around.

Feels 100% at appropriate speeds and the rear doesn't wallow.

Certainly a lot more accurate, that's for sure!

I've got a 94 nc35 and I can only see one for the nc 30

i see!

what is it you need the haynes book for? a lot of the nc30 servei manual crosses over.. im sure ive seenthe 35 manual floating around somewhere but its in Japanese.

I intend to become an informed home grease monkey, so I'm sourcing all material and forums for well healed advice and info.

I have down loaded the nc30 manual also.
