PD Simplified : Tyre Pressures

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 21 жов 2021
  • Welcome to another episode of PowerDrift Simplified, and today Shumi explains the importance of the right tyre pressures. Tyres are one of the most crucial components of your motorcycle in the sense they transfer all of your inputs - acceleration, braking, and direction changes on onto the tarmac. Thus maintaining the right tyre pressures can improve your riding experience. Running lower tyre pressures than the recommended won't do you much good unless you are riding heavily off the road. On the flip side, higher pressures won't help you either. Almost all motorcycles have manufacturer recommended pressures calibrated for an average rider or rider and pillion. And these have intensive R&D involved.

      I have a major doubt. I own a Honda Hornet 2019 version. The label on the bike says 25 psi/26psi for front+rear for solo rides. Every time i go to recheck air, the guy goes nuts saying FZ needs 35/40... Why's the big change? Is Honda wrong with the numbers?

    Is it necessary to top up your tyres with air even if there is a reduction in 1-2 PSI? And does it matter if you fill it with NO2 or regular compressed air? I would really appreciate it if you guys could answer these questions of mine. Great video BTW.

    • @powerdriftofficial
      @powerdriftofficial  2 роки тому +41

      While a drop of 1-2PSI won't really make a difference, you should get the tyres checked if the drop is rapid.
      Nitrogen does have it's advantages, but they are negligible in regular riding.

    You are spot on. I have purchased an michelin air pressure gauge. I have found out that the puncturewala meters are genaraly awful. Sometimes they are off by 50%. Petrol pump digital meters are much more reliable. You have to buy a digital or analog certified pressure gauge to maintain your tyres be it car or bike.

    It's absolutely necessary to have a reliable tyre pressure gauge. I learnt it in a hard way that resulted in an accident when a local roadside tyre shop pumped 60 psi in my rear tyre when I asked for 38-40 psi. His gauge showed 40. After the accident, I was agape to find the psi 60 from another tyre shop.

    Another thing thats come to my mind is a confusing parts of the air pressure:
    1. Air pressure on your tyres in actually max pressure that tyres have.
    2. Air pressure of the same tyre is different for the same tyre for different manufacturers and is given in manual or in a stickers on vehicle.

    • @powerdriftofficial
      @powerdriftofficial  2 роки тому

      1) It's actually the minimum pressure that your tyres should have when they are cold.
      2) Should be in the manual and/or a sticker near the swingarm.

    I got myself TVS RR310 this June, Bengaluru. During the first 600km run, I checked the tire pressure in the owner manual and maintained 32 PSi throughout the first run. During the first servicing, the service engineer recommends a completely different tire pressure - front 28, rear 36. I am confused as the R&D team recommends 32 Psi, which contradicts with the service engineers, who are handling issues with the bike on a daily basis.
    In such a case. my weight being 65kg, which recommendation should i go for?

    KTM 250 adventure vs Dominor 250 vs BMW 310gs which is best for touring, milage and maintaimce?

    Great video and very useful information. Q: Isn’t it recommended to get pressure checked on cold tyres? Have seen a lot many check between long rides

    Is it good to fill air first thing in the morning rather than filling after riding some time ?
    Because if you started riding more distance the tyre will heat up and when take your bike next day the pressure will drop a little bit. Expansion and contraction

      Cold checks are more accurate

    What’s the recommended tyre pressure for riding on wet, muddy roads with sleet/snow/ice? Will I have better traction (more contact patch) if I drop the tyre pressure for such surfaces? If so, how much of a % drop will improve traction? Or is it trial-and-error? Can you recommend tyre pressures for the following bikes with stock tyres [with *enough* tread life]?
    Himalayan
    Xpulse stock & knobbies
    Adv 390
    Tiger xcx/rally pro
    Would love to see a video with specific examples.

      For hardcore offroading, you can drop the pressures. Shumi does talk about that in the video.

    @PowerDrift I have question regarding head lamp Mount on bikes
    I have an Xpulse 200 which has headlight mounted on handle bars. Since I frequently ride in Western ghats which has little to no reflectors and street lights, Riding bikes such as Xpulse helps. Whenever I turn handle bar, light beam falls right along to the pointed direction. But in bikes such as Himalayan or Pulsar 180f, where light falls straight ahead regardless of where you point your handle bar. Why certain bike manufactures choose this design over previous one. Himalayan like head lamp designs has certain disadvantages in corners.
