Tyre pressure for a NC31?
Hi mates, I have a NC31, running Dunlop Arrowmax GT501F in the stock sizes. I was wondering what should be a good pressure front and rear? I've tried some, but I'm not sure. I'm currently experimenting running 29-32 Front / 30-34 rear. Is that a good range to experiment or I'm way off?
BTW, I weigh aprox 75kg or 165 pounds. Thanks!

Re: Tyre pressure for a NC31?
I Usually go 32F 34R , just so you know, trackday pressure is 30F 31R so your 29F for road use is probably a bit low, hope this helps :)

Re: Tyre pressure for a NC31?
When I got my tyres changed the dude fitting them put 33psi Front and 36psi rear. I've just kept them at that kinda pressure, seems to work well enough for me.

Re: Tyre pressure for a NC31?
I find that to get the best feel from the nc31
minimum of 26PSI in the front.
Any less and its shakes through the bars
But too much more and it feels like its upright at a small angle, and then a ridge for cornering is a huge angle.
35 PSI in the rear, feels pumped up enough
