I am wondering what air pressure folks are running in their ultra's. I am running around 10 pounds when I be solo (225 pounds) and 25 pounds with the passenger.

 

I run mine at 15, seems to be a good fit for switching back and forth between solo and 2up around town.

out on the road I run them about 20 for 2up

 

300lbs for me and always solo. Mine leak some so I put in 30lbs. every 3-4 weeks. I can tell when they leak down too much when the bike starts to wag a bit in a turn.

 

About 17 psi one up (I am about 200lbs) and about 30psi with wife on

 

I keep 20lbs in for both solo and 2 up. seems to be a good average for both although I could probably use a couple more pounds for 2 up.

 

One other time this discussion came up and I wrote down the numbers people gave. I then took the average of all the numbers which were as follows: 1 up = 12 psi 2 = up 17 psi.
This gave me a good starting point. I now use 1 up = 13 psi and 2 up 19 psi. BTW if your shocks bleed off then there is a problem with the shock system (hoses, shocks, or air valve!)

 

I use to run 20 psi all the time. I now run 30 psi seem to like 30 much better.

 

You are either a large dude or you like a stiff suspension. My lower back would be broken at 20 to 30 lbs. That's like a hardtail with a solo rider.

 

05 ultra.....1up-10lbs 2up-14lbs 2up&fully loaded-16lbs

 

Use to be in the Owners Manual????
