tire pressure...

hey guys, this is one of my first topics ive made on this site, and i didnt know if there was a "serach" option to look this question up.. but i was just wondering what you guys run for tire pressure for front and for rear... i have a 03' rapter 660 and i usually run like 5lbs all around but i cant get it to wheelie straight for shat...but i was just currious... (also, do you guys have axle bearing problems at all? cause i keep $hitting through axle bearings and its getting anyoying replacing them ... i think i may need a new center cection) thank in advance guys

Re: tire pressure...

heres the deal if your learning circles and depending on which way u want to go.... lets say left have like 3 psi in the left and stock tire pressure in the right.... and put all your weight on the left.....but keep your body kinda centered or to the right....waaaaaaaaaaala

I've always had to run uneven tire pressures in the rear tires to get my ex to wheelie straight. I just replaced my OE rear axle bearings and carrier this spring (6yrs.old they were shot), with a lonestar carrier that uses wider bearings and has a grease zerk, def. way heavier duty than stock...

Re: tire pressure...

If you're going through bearings once a year and you don't race MX, something is wrong...

Re: tire pressure...

too tight of a chain adjustment can kill those bearings...

thanks for all the posts. yeah, i always adjust my pressure when im out on a ride.. if its pulling in one direction i let out air on the opposite side... and as far as my bearings go i think my carrier is no good... i just put a lone star axle in it and that uses the stock carrier.. does anyone know of a company that i makes an aftermarket carrier that fits the stock swingarm? cause everyone i have looked at says it needs and aftermarket swingarm "circle type carrier" thanks guys
