How much air pressure should I have in each fork ?

Thanks guys

Manual for GS1100G says 8.5 psi is standard, and has a warning about not exceeding 35 psi.

:-D THANKS --

So - you recommend I leave or set it at that 8.5 or can it come up a little - say 10-15 ?

Just riding around town to and from to work.
Hardly ever on the HWY.

Standard pressure for the forks on a '78 GS1000 is 11 psi. You should check the pressure with the front tire off the ground. The suggested adjustment range is from 11 psi to 16 psi. Use a hand pump to adjust the pressure.

8 psi is what is recommended. If you ride aggressively, you can kick it up to about 14 psi.
