Honda CBR650F tyre pressures

[MotorBike001]

I haven't checked the tyre pressures, and have had the bike nearly 2 years now so thought I'd better do it now...

I read that they're displayed on the swing arm, below is a pic of the swingarm. Could someone tell me the correct figures I should be using at a service station air pump based on the pic below?

Thanks

2 years? I check mine every 2 weeks.

That’s 2.5 and 2.9 bar yours show.

Not checked for 2 years.....

I'd invest in a footpump and a little digital pressure gauge rather than use filling station air lines......and check the pressures before every ride.....or at least weekly.....

or 36 / 42 psi if like me you know no idea what bars are

Bars are for drinking in.

Been converting Pascals to Bar at Uni a fair bit recently. I did google to check if that was 36/42 as well

If you haven't checked or pumped up your tyres for two years there's quite a good chance that they have worn in an uneven manner due to incorrect inflation . You're probably going to need one of these if you are going to use an air pump at a garage.

Never had to use one ..

Adding one of those will create a balance issue if not present at fitting time .

You don't leave it fitted. I use one only when putting air in tyres, though you do need to over fill as you lose some when removing the angled device.

No , you don't leave it attached , this would put great strain on the rubber valve seat and would be highly dangerous. These are for when you just can't get the rigid air hose at a garage to go onto the valve at the correct angle. I have to use one because on my GSXR the discs get in the way . When I worked in a bike shop , customers would buy these in pairs and despite everything we said to discourage them they would insist on leaving them attached to both valves while riding . Anyway if you don't need one then fair enough.

You see i know that they cause issues ... but for the inexperienced perhaps a caution not to leave fitted !

Advice is only as good as its given .
