Here are some links to articles that I found very useful in understanding tire pressure ratings and adjustments...
Dunlop tire recomendations from Revzilla <<<
Motorcycle Safety Foundation <<< (mostly about street tires)
Motorcycle.com <<< The best information I found!
Was thinking of lowering pressure for 7 day dual sport ride with lots of back roads in GA. Not much sand, but lots of rocks and gravel... guess I might drop front and rear just a couple pounds but don't want to be too extreme. Guess I will have several days and hundreds of miles to try some variations.
One thing, for certain. Since the week will end within 100 miles of here, I will leave one big duffel bag of stuff locally to lighten the load. Can survive one week with minimal long term supplies. Leaving behind such items as:
2nd pair of boots
loafers
extra jeans
spare camera with lenses
cook kit (will take some food items and borrow flame where I can find it.)
Can likely find 30# of stuff that won't be needed for the week.
Will report back on results next week.
