Wow, that little huh? I was running 35-40psi, hahahaha...

Oh I forgot to ask, what if I ride the shinko's on the street?

If your motor has any kind of power your going to need a rim lock to run pressures that low.

I have an 88cc takegawa S stage. What do you recommend?

061NJBRYAN · 01-09-2008, 07:30 PM

6psi

KI6HNB · 01-09-2008, 07:33 PM

With out the rim lock I had to run 25-30psi to keep from ripping the stem off. With the rim lock I went down to 18-22psi.

Cool thanx dude. I guess I'll run about 30 for the dirt.

Anyone know what I should run on the street?

yamaharider324 · 01-09-2008, 07:43 PM

I run 30psi with no rim locks.

061NJBRYAN · 01-09-2008, 08:00 PM

WOW! Maybee the ELEV in IN is different.

The big SHINKO gives me no trouble @ 14.

What do you boys run on big bikes?

061NJBRYAN · 01-09-2008, 08:02 PM

lol, I thought you were just mess'in with me.

If you don't have rim locks you should and the tire pressures 1st listed are what I run in all my off road bikes.

61stepdad · 01-10-2008, 06:08 AM

I find anything above 20psi without a rim lock and I have no issues. Mess around from there and find what you like.

In big bikes I run 12psi for normal pack 14psi for hard. Anything in this range on pit bikes I tear stems. I have had no issues when I went to 20psi.

EddieNewYork · 01-10-2008, 08:57 AM

Thanks guys, what does lowering air pressure do as opposed to running it higher?
