Warning!! Really Stupid Question! Tire Pressure!
I was reading in the latest issues of HOG Tales about tire pressure and it states to check your owner’s manual for correct air pressure for your bike. So I flip around the Dyna user manual and not one tire pressure number? I have Dunlop K591 Tires. I guess the standard Dyna manual is too generic? I know the number on the side of the tire is for MAX pressure but what pressure should I be using? I have a 2007 FXDC and I’m a big guy 290 lbs so a smaller guy (the standard) with 2-up would be about the right pressure for me in a single configuration. Can anyone enlighten me?
By the way, this forum and all of you rock! I have learned allot reading and posting here and if it was not for you guys I would be lost as my stealer has a lot of idiots working for them!
Thanks!!!

bull, should be near the front of your owners manual,
on one of the specifications pages.
In my 06 manual it's on about page 35.
It's in there.

RE: Warning!! Really Stupid Question! Tire Pressure!
In the Dyna 2007 manual it's page 19! Thanks, I finally found it! So much for the Index in the manualunder Tire or Wheel!! Manual says 40 PSI with passenger! I wonder if that means a 150 lbs rider with a 112 lbs passenger? At least I have a ball park PSI depending on what I pick up at the local watering hole!! LOL!
Thanks for the quick response guys!!

Agree with mud on that, front should be 30 according to manual, and 40 rear two-up.
