Rear Tire Pressure Survey

[Grumpy Goat]

I'm assuming you mean cold pressures. I've noted previously that we used to spend time looking at pressures once he tires were warmed up - especially at the track.

Or, do you mean the pressure from the sensor that is corrected for temperature?

Maybe I'm old fashioned....
What's the ambient temperature?
What time of day is it? Will the temperature be increasing by more than 15 dec C?
What kind of roads am I going to be on? Any dirt or gravel planned? Interstate miles?
How much of a load am I carrying?

All that said, it's a 240 kg bike. I have great respect for the engineers, so I usually try to keep myself sane and keep the TPM happy at 42 PSI.... Modern electronics has made a few things simpler for me.

Actually I put up this poll in response to a request from Darrell, who was interested in knowing what the actual real-world cold pressure preferences among RS owners was. Knowing Darrell, it is probably the pressure manually taken in the garage before a ride.

As an engineer I also tend to adhere to manufacturer's specs, and tire pressures is no different.
