Hey I just got my new razr's and was wondering what a good psi is to run them at? I am at 5 psi all the way around. Thanks in advice, Steve

Not if you like it. Seems alittle hard though. If it works for you and you like it don't change it. If it aint broke don't fix it. Thanks again for your imput. Steve

For mx, you want a higher pressure to keep the tire from rolling over, but for trails/ gncc, you want a lower pressure for more traction. i run from 4-6 all around depending on conditions

The best way to find the best pressure for you is to take an hour and try diff pressures. start with the fronts, start at a low pressure and ride it and increase a pound, riding in between each increase and see how you like it, you dont want the tire to roll over, but you also do not want too much pressure or your tire will not get enough traction and it will slide around. Then do the same for the rears, and just try to find a pressure that feels the best. Only the rider of the bike knows what pressure is best, everyone likes something a little different.

on my razr 2s i run about 6.5 in the front and 5 in the rear. i hate when you buy a new quad from factory they have 20 pounds in your tires:scary:
