tire pressure
I have just had new tires put on the front wheel and hack wheel. VTX 1800 with Ural classic sidecar. What air pressure is recomended for each of the three tires please?

Use the upper limits of the Honda recommendations for the bike and up to 35 PSI on the hack.

Thanks Lonnie. Someone in a bike shop told me I should be running higher pressure in the front and side but I couldn't remember why? I have been off my bike for a while and wanted to get the pressures right before riding on the new tires. Thanks again
Geoff.

The higher pressures are needed due to sideloading of the tires which doesn't occur with a solo bike.
