CEYLON Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I am new to offroad riding. I have a 2009 R1200GSA, What are the better air pressure for SO Cal desert and mountain riding? Thank you, Jay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 12, 2017 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I used to have an '11 GSA and destroyed my rims riding at 20 psi. Woody from Woody's Wheels says don't go under 30. Jimmy Lewis says he ran 28 psi on his GSA. I'd usually stick with 28 myself and then go lower if I was in deep sand but then re-inflate after that to protect rims. You want the higher pressure on the pavement at speed too for safety and tread life. Good luck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEYLON Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Thank you Eric, I was in Soda lake couple of weeks ago. I ran 28. I saw Shawn Thomas saying to run 28.(Saw it on Youtube). It ran fine. Thank you for the info. Keep up the good work.

Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 15, 2017 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks buddy! Yeah I'd say if @ShawnThomasRockOn says something about riding then it's sure worth a listen! He is a legend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
