psi

Just been refering to the manual for tyre presures (S4R ) and it doesnt mention psi, just bars, so can anyone translate 2.1 and 2.2 bar into good old psi. I reckon the back is a bit low its only showing 34psi.

cheers anyway, z

1 Bar = 14.5 PSI roughly about the same as Atmospheric Pressure:

I'd say road use should be around 31-32 front 33-34 rear for road use, 29 - 30 front 30 - 31 rear for trackdays, if that's any help?

bodycote, mine are running the same... anything lower around London streets just kills the arse when going over bumps/pot-holes! Then again you have more padding than me to perhaps you could go lower.

HEY! Kelly's Heroes just started on BBC1... but doesn't finish until 01:35am
