RC Front fork air pressure

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone
As I dont have an owners manual and cant find the info on the Web, can anyone give me the definative recommended air pressure for the front forks.
I have seen tank decals with different air pressures and dont want to try and put 20 psi into forks that take 6 psi.

cheers
Ian

Hi Phil
I understand that the pressures could be dfferent between an RB and a RC but that is what I m trying to clarify, I think between 23 and 26 psi is the mark but would like confirmation thanks for the reply.

cheers

Hello,
According to my owner’s manual it should be 14 psi and should be checked when cold.
There is a note to say that excessive pressure would cause the suspension to become too firm and performance will decline, but it does not mention causing any damage.

Thanks Ken I will try 14psi.
I need to try and get a copy of a manual, I have a clymer that covers a lot but sometimes I need to see correct details in writing in a RC manual.

Thanks for your help

Hello Ian,
I have downloaded the PDF manuals and they show RB pressures as 27 psi with fairing, 23 psi without; RC 14 psi; RD 0 – 8 psi
I have an RC, if you have any problems getting the downloads I could forward them to you by email.
