Proper Stella PSI?
Ok.. I have an 08 with the zippy continentials
Just picked it up last summer new from the dealer.
What is the factory suggested tire PSI?
I cant find it in the manual
The sticker on the leg shield has 17 psi front & 35 psi rear
(I have read mention of 17/30 being in the manual- but I cant find it)
& yes... I did search the forums & found lots of PSI talk, but not for the Stella which I assume might be different.
If there is a tread on this & you can post a link here - that would be greatly appreciated.
If not....
what is Genuine's recommended PSI?
& what you you inflate to?
thanks!

thanks lmyers
Any one else want to chime in?
On a side note... it was a fluke low 80's in the Chicago area today so I pulled my stella out of storage & it fired up on the 2nd kick
little smoke until it warmed up, but running like a champ
It was also nice to go fill it up with fresh gas - even if its $4.05/ gal right now here

The PSI on the tyre is the max allowable PSI for max load rating.T'Pring wrote:Page 6 of the service manual shows 22/29 - varying with temp.
My question is, shouldn't we go by the recommended PSI on the tire? That would seem to be more relevant [but maybe not].
It is independant of what bike it goes on.
The PSI listings in the owner's manual are what you should use.
My Stella 4T shows 17/26. It rides and corners great like that. The shop had set it up at 30/30 and that made the front very nervous and bounce around on every road imperfection.
