  • Please tell me about tyres and pressure!

    I am a Unicorn (BS-4 | April, 2017 model) rider. I weigh 117 kgs and I ride with a pillion weighing 65kgs. Front tyre is 2.75-18 42p and the rear tyre is 100/90-18 56p. Both are tube tyres and I maintain nitrogen in both.

    Can someone explain to me how much pressure is to be maintained as I am confused by plethora of info given by tyre walas and online blogs! And the swingarm info tells me to maintain cold pressure at 25front/29rear for both: rider only and rider with pillion. Please see the image attached.

      Hi Surendra, first of all, i wouldn't recommend using nitrogen in tires. Since there is not any advantages (if your driving on normal roads).
      In race tracks they do make a difference.

      Stick to the company recommended 25 front and 29 rear (if they came with tube tyres as stock).
