    Tire Pressure

    On Avon's web site the have a listing of tire pressures. For the 850 the list 33psi front and 40psi rear. I've been running this pressure and no problems. No side wall cracking. I've have about 2000 miles on mine now.

        For the 1000 they recommend 36F 42R but that felt really stiff to me when I tried it (although no other problems).

        I run about 33-34F + 38R but I only weigh 165lb (+gear)

            With Rose and I both on the ES, I run about 38F 41-42R, Just me, 36F 40R... Never had any problem with sidewall cracking, but after two seasons now, my tread trenches are starting to crack on the front Venom.. Not a roadrider. Gone through many a RR and never seen any cracking...
