What is the proper tire pressure for a motorcycle?
1 Answers
Under normal conditions, the tire pressure for the front wheel should be between 170 to 200 kPa, and the rear wheel should be between 200 to 220 kPa. Tires are the only components in contact with the ground, making tire pressure extremely important—it should neither be too high nor too low. Incorrect tire pressure, whether too high or too low, can affect the vehicle's handling. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Low tire pressure: At high speeds, the tire may exhibit wave-like deformation, which can reduce the tire's lifespan and increase the risk of a blowout. 2. High tire pressure: This reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, negatively impacting the vehicle's handling and stability.
