Hi all,
I weigh about 77kg, maybe 80kg with all my gear on, so I set my tyre pressures on my FZ6 S2 to Front 33 and Rear 36.
The bike went in for its first service yesterday, and they've obviously tweaked all the cable tensions and generally the bike feels better for it, but they've upped the pressures for someone much heavier than myself. Front is at 36 and the Rear is 42.
I don't know why they've done this and wonder if its because of the tyres that are on it? They are Bridgestone BT020's.
Anyone got any ideas why?
I obviously don't want to run at the wrong tyre pressures, because I value my skin and they keep me the right side up on the road!
Thanks.
