I run a 2003 Honda CL400 which weighs in at 140Kg and I weigh 80Kg-Tyre size is 100/90-19F and 110/90-18R--The tyre info label on the swingarm is in Japanese.
I am now doing nearly all sealed road riding-Can someone give me a PSI starting point for for this set up.-Thanks

It should have a recommendation on the side wall of the tyre.

I started with the stock for most adv tyre types of this size 22psi front and 25psi rear then adjusted from there based on the feel and wear I seen on the tyres.

Nice bike :headbang:

I always though that this figure was "Max load" or "Range" was to help seat the bead without blowing it off the rim along with your face not running psi hmmm.

Ie my shinkos only says Max range 41psi and I def don't run them at 41psi or think this is a good place to start when riding about.

Could be wrong as ive not seen every tyre brand ever made.

Thanks RGV-The numbers you give mean I can almost decipher the pressures on the label on the swingarm which is for Dunlop K460 and 560 specific tyres,which were on the bike when I bought it and are not avail in NZ.Heidenau Scouts were the closest I could get to the Dunlops.The CL is a hoot and the favourite of the 5 bikes I own.

Me dad is running similar pressures with the Heidenaus on his KDX 200sr, I run about that in the Shinko 705's on the DT230. My feeling with tires like this on light bikes is that they are not to sensitive. I check the pressures cold, then check them hot. If it's only increased a couple of psi I'm happy. I've run lower and higher with no noticeable change. I keep an eye on the wear pattern, too, but that is consistent.

Both the trailies are similar weight to the 'onda, riders a tad lighter.
