What is the tire pressure for a 125cc scooter?
2 Answers
125cc scooter tire pressure should generally be maintained at 2.0bar for the front wheel and 2.5bar for the rear tire, which is more reasonable. The following are the impacts of insufficient motorcycle tire pressure: 1. Distance: The coasting distance is significantly reduced. 2. Effect: The coasting effect on downhill sections is weakened. 3. Flat ground: Pushing the vehicle on flat ground feels laborious. 4. Wear: The tire wear becomes severe. 5. Tire: Causes early tire damage. 6. Blowout: Generates excessive heat during long-distance travel, increasing the risk of a blowout.
As a frequent rider of a 125cc scooter, I find tire pressure settings crucial for safety and comfort. The general recommendation is 1.8 to 2.0 bar for the front tire and 2.0 to 2.2 bar for the rear, with the exact values best checked in the owner's manual or on the tire label. I use a digital pressure gauge to check every two weeks, measuring when the tires are cold for the most accurate reading. If the pressure is too high, the ride becomes bumpy and the center of the tire wears out quickly; if it's too low, fuel consumption increases, the tire edges wear out easily, and there's a higher risk of skidding during turns. When carrying passengers or heavy loads, the rear tire pressure should be increased slightly, but not exceeding 2.5 bar. In summer, tire pressure naturally rises by about 0.1 bar due to high temperatures, while it drops in winter, so timely adjustments are necessary. Remember to do a quick check before each ride to avoid potential hazards.
