Avon tyre pressures

Post by Nicky Dodds » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:52 pm

Does anyone else run avon roadriders on their 1100 ?
Could do with a reminder what pressures to run at when two-up and two-up with luggage.
Just been trying to check what I've been running at solo and all four gauges I have are fahooked. What's the best to get ie. Halfrauds??

It was so long ago I asked I don't remember... I don't carry a passenger usually and use the same pressures with or without luggage... Seems ok imo. It's a ballpark figure to get ta started... Don't expect perfection ;)
