    To make the long story short:

    1. Look for a bike with similar tires, like Yamaha WR250X.
    2. Download the Yamaha WR250X maintenance manual from http://ymenvom.nl/manuals/U32DE3.PDF
    3. Go to the page 6-19, or see the pic attached and find the information

    Cheers

    I haven't tried the hot/cold tire pressure test before. Although it makes some sense, I'm not really sure what it gives you more than simply filling to the pressure it says on the tires.

    Generally, I've heard the tire pressure in the manual is for stock tires. Each tire will have it's own recommended pressure and they are definitely higher for heavier loads. Do your tires have a recommended pressure marked on them?

    I supouse (not tryed yet) that gives you the optimal fingerprint (don;t know if this is a correct term) or tire to road contact. Not lo tiny like with over inflated tires (or less load) that gives you bad traction But not so big like under infalted tire (or overloaded) that gives you a lot of traction and hot and waste.

    Dont remember that the tire has a normal psi, they always put max psi so you don;t over inflate it until explodes.

    I use 33 couse that is what the sundown manual said. (downloaded from MCM)
