Tyre pressure for 650

[austen_gs]

not got my handbook on me, and cant find answer using the search, so can some please tell me recommended tyre pressures for the 650 please.

Same as my 800 -

Rider only - 32F 36R

Rider,pillion + luggage - 32F 42R

Doesn't it depend on the type/brand of tyre?

I'm running on tubeless Tourances (non-exp) and would appreciate it if someone could remind me of the pressures for those with luggage and a pillion.

Makes zero difference. If the tyres are the right size for the bike, the figures given by the manuf are the correct pressures irrespective of brand or name within brand. So Tourance tyres (exp and non exp) are:-

Fully loaded with lugg and Pill:-

F650GS 32 Fr 42 Rear

F800GS 36 Fr 42 Rear

Rider only:-

Both Models 32Fr 36 Rear

My bike (F650GS) came with Tourance EXP fitted from new. With rider (at only 75kg ) and lightly loaded top box, bike handles really well with 29Front and 36Rear. Tried it with upping front to 32Front, but it went very light and felt very skittish, as though there was very little grip. Might be because i'm a light weight though

I'm only 73Kg, and had the same problem taking it home after I bought it. First thing I did was to sell the top box. Now it's fine at 32 as it should be. (IMHO Top boxes should be taken off and chucked, they act like a self steering vane on a single- handed Yacht, fighting direction and causing instability all by themselves!)
