Title: Proper tire PSI Post by: UncleRico on September 06, 2006, 06:18:27 PM Does anyone have a formula or know how to determine the proper PSI for MX racing vs. QUAD CROSS?
What set up do you use? Just curious. Title: Re: Proper tire PSI Post by: svtbolt04 on September 06, 2006, 06:23:41 PM Different strokes for different folks is what I say.
I know my buddy who races MX runs around 15psi, but then klutchbuster runs around 4-5 for MX. I ride with around 3and a half in the rear, 4 in the front but I ride XC.

Hey now, I had a flat tire that day! lolI know my buddy who races MX runs around 15psi, but then klutchbuster runs around 4-5 for MX. I ride with around 3and a half in the rear, 4 in the front but I ride XC. Title: Re: Proper tire PSI Post by: YELLOW RR on November 13, 2006, 01:12:57 PM so why does my 06 yfz450 manual say to run 4.5 to 5 psi in stock tires? Do aftermarket tires need more psi??

Run whatever you want, I prefer running low psi in all types of riding, but learned the hard wsa quite a few times its better to run higher psi in technical high speed situations.Title: Re: Proper tire PSI Post by: FoxHondaRider on July 02, 2007, 06:32:21 PM I ride out at Croom and I have 3-5 PSI in the rear tires for good grip and nice handling. For jumping you want a higher PSI.
