Hi members. New to the forum so please bear with me. I have bought a RE Classic 350 2018 and everyone (including dealers and mechanics) are  giving me different tyre pressures needs.  So I thought I’d see what happens when I ask the riders themselves. So guys and girls, how many PSI front and back in my 350??
Cheers RGEE

Dunlop, for the old UCE 500, recommends 24 psi in the front tire and 32 psi in the rear tire when running their K70 "universal" tires.  Since the 500 and 350 models have very similar weight, I would imagine that the same tire pressures would work just fine for the 350. They work great up to 75 mph on my 2011 500.

On my bike there is a metal plate inside the tool box that gives VIN, GVWR and air pressure recommendations. If you still have the tool box attached, check there.

Depends on how you ride, or like your bike to feel. There's no one pressure suits everyone. Start with what the handbook says and adjust to taste. Lower pressure will give you a smoother ride, at the expense of high speed handling for example. Higher pressure will carry a load better, but be more uncomfortable.

Have a play, do the experiment and see how you go.
