nklr - paypal users watch for this scam

[Ira Agins]

In looking over Elden Carl's Multisurface Moto Web pages, I noticed the following statement regarding tire pressures, refering to MT21's in this case: "For street use 26PSI front and 22 PSI rear. For dirt use with rim locks, use 17 PSI front and 14 PSI rear (don't try this without rimlocks)." Since I'm much more experienced in street ridimg where one tends to have more pressure in the rear tire than the front, I find this curious. Is this a typo, or do folks actually run more pressure in the front tire than the rear? Cheers! Ira Agins Santa Fe, NM A16

That's Elden's opinion. I have no problems with tire slippage with low pressures, and I don't use rimlocks. I use 14 front and 17 rear. Devon -- "It's a troublesome world, all the people who are in it, are troubled with troubles almost every minute" Dr. Seuss

It's not the pressures themselves I question. It's running the front tire at a lower pressure than the rear. Cheers! Ira Agins Santa Fe, NM A16

Yes, it seems strange to me too. Either it's a typo or it works well for him. I always thought that you ran more pressure in the rear tire because the drivetrain torque heated it up more than the front.

I understood the concept as being that because the tire is wider, it can support the same load at a lower pressure than the front. But obviously it needs to carry a greater load, not the same load. Eldon is also NOT a fan of using the KLR as a cargo beast. So those of you with 600lbs of rider and gear should use a little more tire pressure than what's recommended. Mark A9, A3
