[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1182363, member: 3828"] I agree. There is no logical reason to have changed the tire pressure spec from Gen 1 to Gen 2, or from Gen 2 to Gen 3. Unless... it is not coming from Yamaha, but rather from whoever is the chosen OEM tire supplier at that point in time. I think that this has some real likelihood as they do seem to switch vendors on a regular basis. But, anyone who has any experience riding any FJR with any of the available ST tires on them will know first hand that the front tires will cup, scallop and wear rapidly if run at much less than about 39 psi. Of course since we are talking tires, YMMV! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
