Always confirm against the tire information label on your own bike (usually on the swingarm, chain guard or frame) — it applies to your exact model, year and market.
Before you set your pressures
- Measure cold. These are cold pressures — before riding, or after the bike has sat for about 3 hours. A warm tire reads several psi higher; never let air out of a hot tire to match these numbers.
- Temperature changes pressure. Tire pressure moves roughly 1 psi for every 10°F of air-temperature change, so a bike set in a warm garage will read low on a cold morning. Check more often when the seasons change.
- Load matters. A passenger or luggage usually needs more pressure, especially at the rear. Use the loaded values when your manual lists them, and never exceed your bike’s load limit.
- Tires differ. These values are for the original-equipment tire sizes. Non-standard sizes, tubes vs. tubeless, worn or aged tires, or off-road use can call for different pressures — follow the tire maker’s guidance, and never exceed the maximum pressure molded on the sidewall.
- Your label wins. Manufacturers sometimes revise specs between model years and markets. If this page and the label on your bike disagree, go with the label or your owner’s manual.
This tool is general information, not a substitute for your owner’s manual or a qualified mechanic. Use a quality gauge and check pressure at least every couple of weeks and before long rides.

Cold pressures for original-equipment tire sizes. Always confirm on your bike’s tire label.
Where these numbers come from
Every pressure in this tool was read from the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for that model, or confirmed by at least two independent sources that agree on the exact value. If we couldn’t verify a model to that standard, it isn’t listed — a wrong tire pressure is worse than none.
How to check your tire pressure
Check pressure cold — before you ride, or after the bike has been parked for a few hours. Remove the valve cap, press a good-quality gauge squarely onto the valve, and compare the reading with the value above. Add air in short bursts and re-check until it matches, then refit the cap. A digital or dial gauge you keep with the bike is far more reliable than a gas-station hose.
Where to find the tire pressure label on your bike
Most motorcycles carry a tire information label on the swingarm, the chain guard or the frame near the steering head, and the same values appear in the owner’s manual. That label is specific to your exact model, year and market, so if it ever disagrees with a chart, trust the label.
Why the right pressure matters
Under-inflated tires make a bike feel heavy and slow to turn, overheat, and wear out fast at the edges. Over-inflated tires shrink the contact patch and reduce grip, especially on wet roads. Getting it right takes two minutes and is one of the easiest safety wins in motorcycling.
