Hello Could some one tell me the factory touring suspension psi setting is for an`11 SG? Thanks.

 

My Limited was zero from the factory. I'm surprised the dealer didn't put some air in during pre-delivery set-up, but it was zero when I checked it for the first time within a day or two of getting the bike.

Now I run the shocks at 20 psi for normal riding.

 

You're joking?! You should have an owners manual, it will tell you in there.

 

Mine was at zero from the factory.
A week later, it was zero again. Been fine ever since, I'm guessing something wasn't seal properly at first.

I usually run it around 30-35 psi

 

If I'm riding alone, I usually run between 30-35 psi. If I am running with my woman, I usually put 50 psi in the shocks. The shocks were designed to allow air to escape when you hit a sharp bump. Thats why you will have to continue to check them on a regular basis.

 

+1 I usually check mine before each ride. Only takes a dew seconds to do.

 

Could you substantiate that statement? Wear did you get that information?

I find that statement hard to believe and without seeing the design specs or other manufacturers literature to prove otherwise, I don't believe it.

If this were the case you'd constantly be adding air to the shocks. And if you are constanly adding air, then you have a leak somewhere in the system.

I went on a 9,000 mile ride this summer and set the shock pressure at 20psi before I left. A month later when I returned home, I checked the shock pressure, and it was exactly 20psi.

Maybe I didn't hit any bumps???

 

20 is a LITTLE light for the new frame. Should be around 30 or so.

 

Amazing, eh? I guess I never hit bumps either! I've not lost a single pound of air pressure in my last two bikes, that's four riding seasons now. Some dealer probably told him that and he believed it.

Bingo - look in manual for Rear Suspension Recommended Air Pressure Table (my 09 Touring manual is page #64). Set air according to weight & dial-in when you ride. Need to get hand air pump from HD to check & adjust.
