I know we've hit this before....tire pressure

[TheLane]

only thread i could find was old and not too helpful. Anyways im thinking about breaking away from just riding trails and training to be a freestyle superstar and hitting the mx track...what pressure are you mx guys running for tire pressure. Beadlock and no beadlock.

[TheLane]

bump.

[SRH]

10-12 in the front 4.5 - 6 in the back whether its a beadlock or non beadlock....for mx

[atvracer190]

depending on conditons 6 to 8 in the front, 4 to 5.5 in the rear

[sexysilverado45]

Beadlock front and rear, 7.5 front, 5.5 in the rear. That's for dry hard pack. For groomed tracks I play it by ear. I like to keep 2lbs more in the front than the rear.

[tjsdaname]

7-9 rear depending on track conditions...
9-12 in front depending on track conditions..

[honda400ex2003]

[mx Eli]

personally I talk to my shock guy about tire pressure's on differant track conditions

[Wired]

if you want to be a freestyle superstar we all run 12 pounds in the front and rear. trust me, last thing you want to do is drag frame on a ramp!

X2.

Regularly, I shoot for 10 front, 8 rear. It's expensive but MotionPro makes a great low pressure gauge...goes from 0-15 lbs for ATV application.

DWT racer in a box:
front - no beadlock
rear - single beadlock

Or you can just get a digital one at oreillys for $7. Works with ATV and your vehicle.

The gauge I listed is extremely accurate at low pressures unlike the cheap ones you see at the auto part stores. Digital displays do not increase the accuracy of the gauge. Trust me, I've used all the cheap crap for the past 10 years. Just got tired of it and researched to find a great gauge that isn't impacted by temperature either. Your tires are a major part of your suspension so it does have an impact between having 4 lbs in one tire and 5 in the other. After spending $3,000-4,000 on suspension upgrades, this tire gauge is a drop in the bucket. Plus, I have lots of new friends at the track.

15 in the front ant usually 10-12 in the back. if your shocks are setup correctly you will not have a problem with a little more pressure

i found the ones made by slime arent to bad.

[BlaineKaiser450]

12 and 8

[trailrider894]

Wow.... everyone runs something different... can someone post a number that we can trust for MX?

[deathman53]

I use 8 in the front and 5-6 in the rear. My grooved radials get 10 psi, but those are a hard, dry tire choice only.

[blaster12s]

10 front non beadlock
6 to 8 beadlock rear

[WB450r]

6 to 8 rear beadlock..9 to 10 front non beadlock..does pretty good for me

[400exrider707]

Alot of it depends on track conditions... no one can tell you a perfect number. I changed my tire pressure at every single race and a lot of times in between motos, since the tracks would be wet in the morning and dry out during the day...
