should be between 5.7 - 8.5 psi
they say 7.5 psi is about the best

Hi, due to the lack of a main stand because of 4>1 exhaust I am unable to check the pressure with weight off the forks on my gpz1000rx

Does anyone know what sort of higher pressure reading i would need to set at to compensate?

Any info or help much appreciated

Anyone come up with an answer, i have same problem 84 GPZ750R, no centre stand, no "skyhooks" about. I know that this is old thread but its all search could find related to fork air pressure.
Many Thanks Rob

Robbo, replace sacked fork springs with Progressive Suspension (or the local equivalent) go up to 10-15 wt fork oil and FORGET about the air.
