Off Road tyre question

[BamBam]

Hi all
Been running Michlin Deserts off road at about 28psi rear and 26psi front.

Fitted new ones today ready for Tarenig Rally next week.
So HP2ERS, could I please have your thoughts for, off road tyre pressure in general and recomendations for differant terrains

The deserts have pretty stiff side walls so you can run pretty soft. The only downside is you will get a lot more wear if you're doing any road work, particularly at speed.

Only doing off-road work - I go to 18-20. But I'm not an expert on tyre pressures... most of the time I don't have a gauge and just let some out till they feel soft enough

Good luck with the rally

I've just fitted MT21's on the XC ready for next weekend - I'll be running them around 18PSI.

I reckon you should be looking at Mav's recomendation.

At the Cambrian last year I'd just had my XC serviced and the dealer had put 30 PSi in the tyres - On MT 21's again the bike was a fun with the back stepping out and not so much fun with a lack of front end confidence.

Thank you Mav Is that front 18 and rear 20 or about that in front and rear?
Have you ever removed your indicators, does it effect the cambus as I was thinking of removing them for the rally less to damage

looking foward to the Rally was out yesterday on the byways, but she started to cut out when selecting gears to pull off feckin side stand switch gave it a good kicking and limped home will mod it again today, last time it went for a BMW service they put a new stand, switch and stand bracket on. Should have kept my modification wire and fecked the switch of then
