Look at the sidewall of both tires. There will be a 'MAX PSI' embossed on the tire. It will probably say Max 45 PSI. At 45psi the bike will ride like a rock. At 15psi it will ride really squirrely. Find a psi at which you feel the bike handles well and rides well. One rider may weigh 125 pounds and the next rider may weigh 300 pounds. The best psi for each rider will be different due to weight. Chances are that 30 to 35 psi will do the trick.

Riding fazer s2 feels like a flat tyre but not that as tyre pressure ok

wot exactly does the bike do when this happens ? front or rear tyre ? are the front and rear suspension set correctly ? stand on the bike in the middle and bounce up and down on the foot pegs and they should move together ! how much sag do you have on the front forks , use a marker pen and when sat on the bike get someone to mark the slider then pull up on bars when feet on floor and mark again ! lots of bikes are set too soft , does the forks have spring pressure adjusters on the tops of the fork legs ? if yes turn them in , if not get aftermarket progressive fork springs that reduce the sag ! this can solve lots of problems on make the bike alot betteras ive done this on my yam Vmax 1200 !

Whats the correct tyre pressure for my 2001 suzuki burgman an 400 also if by chance i had put 4 bar in the tyre by mistake but only had the scooter on the centre stand have i done any harm

Hi, a 1999-2003 suzuki burgman /an 400 using standard tyre sizes 110/90-13 front is 1'75 bar (25psi)
130/70-13 rear is. 2 bar-(29psi) and 2.8 bar (41psi when carrying a passenger) check the tyre for correct seating on the rim, dont think you have done any harm, the only danger inflating small tyres to a high pressure is you risk blowing it off the rim, as you have now corrected it you should be ok with that, paul

What are the tyre presurers for two up riding

30 psi front, 40 psi rear for maximum load. You'll have to adjust the suspension according to how much weight is on the bike. Tighten suspension until the rear tire does not rub under the fender when you negotiate bumps.

Good Luck
