What PSI should my Harley tires be?
Springtime: Check Your Tire Pressure! Most Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are equipped with Dunlop® tires; the tire pressures (cold) should be 36psi front and 40psi rear. Also, check your tires for uneven tread wear and any deterioration in the sidewalls and in the tread itself.
Where can I find the correct tire pressure specifications?
The first place to look for the correct air pressure for your specific tires is your vehicle owner’s manual. Correct air pressure should also be listed on the tire placard attached to the vehicle door edge, doorpost, glove box door or fuel door.
How do I check the pressure on my motorcycle?
Checking Your Motorcycle Tire Pressure
- Find the valve stem poking up on the inner surface of your wheel rim.
- Once you have the valve stem cap off, you can see the end of the valve.
- Be sure your gauge has been reset to zero or the slider rule has been retracted.
- Remove the gauge and try again.
What happens if motorcycle tire pressure is too high?
