Recommended Air Pressures for F, & R, 100/90-12 Tyres of Honda Zoomer X Scooter ?

[Our Man in the Tropics]

Hi fellow Thaivisa.com Posters,

 

I searched exhaustively for information on Internet as to recommended Air Pressures for Front, & Rear, respectively, 100/90-12 Tyres of Honda Zoomer X Scooter, but to no avail.

 

The only available manual, as far as I know, is in Thai language ;

And, according to my wife, it states :

Front ; 29 p.s.i.

Rear ; 33 p.s.i.

 

I note that the sidewalls of each tyre, Dunlop brand, that was supplied as Original Equipment from Manufacturer [ Honda ] -- O.E.M. -- state only maximum pressure

vis.

36 psi.

 

 

There are 2 scenarios to consider :

 

1.

Driver only on the scooter

 

2.

Driver with Pillion Passenger on the scooter.

 

With reference to 2. [ above ], I did come across mention by Dunlop or some tyre retailer -- I forget which at this moment -- stating that when carrying pillion passenger both tyres [ or is it only rear ? ] should be pressurized to stated maximum air pressure rating of tyre.

 

Here's hoping for  knowledgeable Posters replying with authoritative information.

 

 

Regards,

Rider only , F 29 , R 33 sounds right. Raise rear to 35 / 36 for pillion. Use your own digital gauge. Check every 2 / 3 weeks.

Thanks ktm jeff.

 

Sorry for delay in replying ;

I did not sign into the forum since circa 20 August.

I have "Analogue" Air Pressure Gauge only.

 

Also, I wonder ;

 

How accurate are the User pre-set Air Pressure pumps for free Use at PTT garages ?

Hi. If your analogue gauge is accurate ( try checking readings against another gauge ) , then its fine. LCD ones are smaller and can be easier to use on smaller scooter wheels. Garage gauges , if dropped , may be out . Could be said they are better than nothing though. Shell garages often have good gauges.
