G'day everyone,
I'm heading to the bush this weekend and taking the trials bike with me for the 1st time....
Any ideas on the most suitable tyre pressure for the state forest?
(I'm expecting it to be very wet and muddy in some areas)

Re: Going bush
6 psi in the front and 4 psi in the rear tyre is normally a good base point. Going for a general ride you could run and extra 1 or 2 psi if you felt the need.

Re: Going bush
PA is on the money re pressures. Depending on how your carby is set up, If you intend to do a lot of quick 'trail type' riding you might want to think about richening the mixture a bit too.

Thanks for the replys!
I don't think we'll be flying down the trails but a bit quicker than what we usually do down at Oakleigh.
At least until we find a spot to play!
Cheers

Re: Going bush
Just listen for it 'pinking' when you open the throttle while flying along - if it does open the choke for a bit :)
Re: Going bush
Excuse the ignorance paulm.... what does pinking mean?
I assume, Open the choke to give it a bit of a richer mix?

Will do!
"pinking" and "pinging" are both commonly-used terms for the same condition
