Default I just bought me a bike and..

Hi all.

I just bought me a bike and I need to know the correct tyre pressures. I can't seem to find a downloadable handbook or the info I need.

My bike is a 1992 gsx 1100 G

Front tyre is Bridgestone Battleaxe BT 020F pressure ???

and the rear is a

Pirelli dragon MTR 24 170760 ZR17 (72w) MTR24 I found the pressure for this is 2.9 bar.

Not bin on a bike for a few years so bin out of the loop.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Welcome, Mike. We don't really cater illegal manuals here, so you may not find much (yes, most - if not all - online manuals are there illegally and against copyright). As for your tire question, pressure is suggested by the motorcycle manufacturer and is not usually related to tire brand or model. It's determined by vehicle weight and suspension setup. I'd go with 36/40 until you know for sure.

Ride naked! No clothes means no wind resistance! And of course riding wheelies means less frictional resistance between your tires and the ground.
