Yamaha Radian 1986 - Has anybody any idea of the tyre pressure i should be using? I have no idea and i think it probably needs to be done.

Thanks in advance

I suggest that you give your local shop/mechanic a call.

As a general guide I think most modern road tyres (sport touring) run in the 33psi front, 36psi rear range.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that - i was just on the phone and they told me. Have a great day :) I was told 32 in the front and 36 in the back.

32/36 sounds near to right. What you can do is check those pressures when tyres are cold, go for a good run then re-check when tyres are hot/warm. The reading should be about 10% higher - 35/39. If it is much under 10%, then your starting cold pressure was too high and vice versa. Adjust cold pressure appropriately
