    Just finished an off road adventure. I had the tyres set at the one up factory settings, which felt harsh over the rocks. I lowered them to what a KLR 650 uses. 25 in the rear and 21 in the front. Seemed to do well. Anyone have any other suggestions.

    If dirt bike riding, I usually set the front and rear to about 11psi. If in rocky terrain, I will inflate up to 15psi. The problem is going from dirt to street, you need to re-inflate for higher speeds.

    I'd throw some bead locks on your wheels if you run lower pressures. Seen that movie....

    Thinking for the weight of this rascal I would not run less than 15. Just my opinion....Bead or rim locks not bad idea regardless
