Yager GT correct tire PSI
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:57:19 PM »
I seem to be getting different info on the correct PSI for my Yager. The manual says app 28 PSI, with 35 as the max. The info on the side of the tires says 40 PSI. Anyone know what the correct level should be?

Page 60 in my 200i manual sez 25 front/28 rear one rider and 25/32 for two riders. Page 61 sez 35 max but the ultimate max is what is on the sidewall. You as the operator have the option to use what ever works best for you and how you ride. 25-40 front and 28-40 rear.

Ok...I have also wondered the same thing.

So lets cut to the chase..... what is the best pressure for 1 up and 2 up. I would like the best MPG and still be safe..

Never go by the info on the side of the tires.  It IS NOT model specific!  The owners manual for the Yager gives the recommended pressure for both 1 or 2 up.  Those are the correct psi levels. 

You can go higher on the psi for greater fuel economy, but for a 2 wheeled vehicle it will affect the traction and contact patch.  The scoot will stick  to the road best with the owners manual recommended pressures.
