Hi there i've been trying and failing to find any sort of info about tyre pressure when carryin a pillion i have a service manual but no user manual. Can anyone tell me the best psi for each tyre with a pillion, i cant remember the exact name of the tyres off top of my head but they were dunlop something.

thanks in advance.

I just tend to leave my pressures the same, never had a problem with grip or any other tyre problems with pillions,

Same - Although I ride ALOT more sedately with a pillion.

Yeah goes without sayin u gotta ride ALOT more controlled and safe when uve got a pillion as their safety is in ur hands, i also make sure before a pillion gets on that they know about leaning and not moving around alot on the back had a girl on the back of my KLR the other day and she kept trying to lean the opposite way when i was going round corners and i could feel the back tyre going! I kept telling her to lean with me but she just wouldnt listen! Bloody women eh!

I only find that to be the case with male pillions, tbh - I ensure the female ones are hanging onto me, rather than the grab rail.

Problem solved.

Oh she had her arms wrapped round me mate i made sure of that

that just made the problem worse when she tried to lean the other way :p

lol i know what you mean, they never listen to " lean with me" you get off the bike and say "why dont you lean with me".... they say... " i wanted to see what was going on" haha
