I WAS OUT SAT. AND BROKE THE BAED ON BOTH THE LEFT SIDE TIRES ON A JUMP. I WAS IN SAND AND I WAS A LITTLE SIDEWAYS NOT TO BAD BUT HIT HARD AND ROLED THE BIKE ONTO THE LEFT SIDE. I HAD 4 PSI IN ALL TIRES LIKE THE BOOK SAID TO BUT I DONT THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPEND.GOOD NEWS A-ARMS ARE FINE AND THE BIKE IS OK. NOT MY FIRST BIKE I HAVE DONE THE SAME WITH BANSHEE AND HAD NO TROUBLE.ANY IDEAS???

 

The owner's manuals generally are somewhat conservative, to put it kindly in regard to tire pressures. If you do any sort of agressive riding you'd be wise to increase the psi to at least 6 PSI and test ride. It may not sound like much difference but it is a 50% increase. With the radials you have on it I would think the tires would be much more rigid in turns & jumps.
By the Way, you might want to check your text prior to submitting and release the upper case lock. It looks as tho you are SHOUTING!

 

Mine had 3 psi in them from the dealer, but all the tire did was hook and not slide around the corners. So iput 6 psi in them and it made a big difference, itslidesmuch better around corners

 

Thank you both very much i will try 6 psi

 

mine came with 3 from the dealer, it currently has 5 but the side wall still collapses a little under weight so I guess 6 or 7 would be best.

 

One other thing regarding tire pressure; ATV tires are notorious for being leakers with or without dents or other damage. I check my tire pressure before I load up for every ride and I have another low pressure gauge under my quad's seat in case I forget to check pressure at home. I may be kind of a nut on the subject, but I know from experience what a pound or two can do to handling, especially at speed.

 

My dealer said 6 for anything hard, you can go as low as 3 for sand. I weigh 220 w/gear and will be running 6 psi out of the box.

With 9000 rpm, I will roost my way out of the sand...
