Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
The front & rear pressures should be strictly maintained. Splendor tyre pressure (Plus & Pro; rear) is about 36 PSI (2.75 inch tyre) and that of Super Splendor is 41 PSI (3 Inch section tyre). But Hornet uses a rather thicker tyre and any pressure above 29 PSI on the strict will make the bike jumpy and feel more stiff (unless you're heavy like #bpk); not to mention that you won't get the optimal road grip and braking traction. I weigh about 60kgs and when the Hornet was new, my friend used to fill 35 PSI, which is absolutely wrong. There's a reason why sizes vary for different tyres. Next time, just read the owners manual and play safe. Tyre pressure will always vary with weather. You can fill 30 or 31 PSI instead of 29 just to be safe, but a mark of 35 or anything higher than the recommended size will just reduce the tyre life. So, next time pay heed to this guys. Tyre pressure are really important and are not to be ignored.
