Wellllllllll, I ran 41 in both the MPA and the BT45s that I used and with each I got on average about 32,000 out of my front tires. The MPA cupped and gave me a good "buzz" (don't get excited wingwing), in the handle bars thus I finished up with the second one I had and then went with the BT45 until I sold the '01'. Most of the kit manufactures will suggest running around 24 in the rears but I went with 30. I found that I got better gas milage and it did not appear to cause any significant "center wear" on the rears. While my front end is different now, I still run 30-31 in the rears. Works for me, bnut you milage may very. Congarts by-the-way on becoming a member of the 3rd world. Enjoy and ride safe.__________________________________________________ __________

by dirtwingerWhen I purchased my 2012 GL, the dealer recommended, to prevent cupping, that I run the same pressure in the front Bridgestone Exedra tire as the rear...41 pounds. I have done that and have not experienced...

by GizmoMore is better, right? Ever since I bought my first GL1800 I have been running 41# presure in the front tire. Why? Because I read it on the internet, of course. That stupid owners manual says 36# but...
