[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1448578, member: 68615"] BigBlue, If the FJR falls into turns, the front tire is under-inflated for your weight. If it stands up in turns, needing effort to hold a turn, the front tire is overinflated for your weight. The rear should feel planted, but not harsh. 40F/42R is a good starting point; at your weight, prolly less up front. Tinker by changing a few PSI at a time, from there. Some tires are more responsive to tire pressures than others. At your mileage, I would ask for just a valve clearance [U]check[/U], not a rather expensive [U]adjustment[/U]. Get a written report of the results. FJR valves hold to specs fairly well. [/QUOTE]
