Default RE: TIRE PRESSURE

tire pressure.....I have an '05 1200C ( does that make any difference?)

I don't have an owners manual so I asked the service manager at the dealership....he said: "Whatever it says on the side of the tire."

That being said...I put 40 psi. front and 40 psi. rear.

What does the owners manual say?

Pressures listed on the sidewall are MAX tire pressure ratings.

The manual spec's for your bike are"
30# - Front
36# - Rear Solo
40# - Rear 2up
