I got my 07 back from the recall flash and 1000 mile service and it runs great

However the mirrors are vibrating and it just seems rough as hell. I havent checked it over yet to see what the guy put for tire and shock pressure in, but it sorta sucks to ride it seems to be hitting so hard

I am 245 lbs, wife is about 150,what do you guys usually run for a tire and shock pressure?

I was gone for the beginning of the season, but I dont remember it being so darn rough last summer (and this tech wasnt the slickest, broke my windshield and fought me over it, so it could have 90 psi in the tires for all I know LOL)

Thanks

 

Well if your running stock Dunlops [:'(]2 up, the reccomended tire pressure is 40 psi rear and 38 psi front. Rear shocks should be about 25 -35 psi depending on how you like it. [8D]I go 310 and ride solo with 25 - 30 psi in the rear shocks. My front shocks don't hold air (i have one of them older models) so who knows whats in em at any given time. [:'(]I run Metzler 880's so my tire pressure is higher. 44 rear 38 front.Now there's some good tires for you to get when the Duncraps wear out.

 

I'll check it out tomorrow, I know it sure rides like a tank since the 1K service. they pumped something up

 

Do the 07's have air in the forks?

 

No.

 

I have ME880s and love them, but I run what it ways on the tire. 50 rear and 42 front in my 03 Road King Classic. 0 shock air. I am 6'4" and about 240lbs.

I just finished a blissful 750 mile ride through the rockys and it was very very smooth and confortable while being very predictable in dry and wet weather.

I ahve never tried any air over 10lbs, but I did not like the harsh feel of the back when pumped.
