All tyres are to pump when cold. When it's hot, air expands, the reading will not be accurate.

 

 

Mean cold tat time pump more lesser 230 front n 260 rear lidat, hot tat time pump more izzit, 250 front n 290 rear?

Nope. 250 & 290 (if that the recommended) when tyres are cold.

 

Hot air expands. So if u pump 250/290 when tyres are hot, u ended up pumping something like 260/300 in total.

Bro, u change early one day only.. after Jacq was replied on $300 for BT021..

 

LOL... less than 500 leh... BT021-$300, original cone bearing-$85 n one socket or wat-$25, total =$410.

 

When i left tat time, he pass me all the free gift... :D

But seriously, overall, service not bad.. had very bad experience 2 years back. but believe things have change now.. plus the workshop was clean and tidy, quite comfie...

[hachi]

Use your recommended pressure stated on ur tires...If there is none then use the recommended ones on the chain guard....

Like the Sportec M1 i used...Stated 290 rear but front there was no indication...

i am very sure it doesnt exceed 300..

[hachi]

I think only bicycle tires need this kinda of pressure.....

For most 250/290 is the best bet....

Maintain tires profile is the most important thing for street riding...

[eement]

over 300 is ver high already

[steel_headz]

lolzz.... bro, u typo error or HKL mech kidding u?? 350 to 380 front n 380 to 400 back?? I tink even class 2 oso no need pump so high.... :confused:

on tyres, only the max pressure a tire can hold is indicated.

to check tyre pressure, use a pressure gauge.

tyre pressure shuld be 33psi frnt 36psi back (alone) 36frnt 42back (with pillion) recommended by manual when tyres are cold.

[TitanicLexus]

I don noe lah.... Tat 1 he say....

 

I also don noe mah... 1st time using BT021....

I wonder if your mech pump 300 above for u is how de leh? Anyway, for me... i will pump 250 front n 290 rear with pillion for standard, dun care is cold or hot....=P

[joey_sfb]

He kidding you lah.... have you tried?? My mech told me is 250/300 for those pillowing... 250/290 for those that don't.

 

Me i try try... now happy with 265/315... hope its does not explode on me..hahaha.. follow at your own risk...

 

Your 300 on the front is 400 on the rear is unbeatable.... sia!! I also don't dare to try.

[lost_soul]

when i just got my bike, a spec 1... it was fitted with version s tyres.

 

the horrible thing is... to make it fit, they pump 480 for front, and 360 for rear. I didn't realised that till I take the reading myself, rub my eyes and yes! thats wad they did. felt damn bloody cheated, in the end still have to change a new set of tyres.
