Default What air pressure for trail riding?

Most of my riding is on power lines,fire roads, just normal trail riding with a little rocks and a little mud but mostly just the trails. I have the factory Dunlops on my Eiger. What do you guys run pressure wise?

Try 4 psi rear and 4.5 or so front.

Individual tastes may vary, but that would probably give you a decent starting spot.

Hondas have a data plate showing suggested inflation pressure. I don't know if Suzuki does that.

I think all ATVs have a sticker or plate with the recommended pressure. I run what it says. 5 pounds front and rear. A lot of quads are less, like 4 in the front and 3 in the rear.

Stay close to the recommended psi on the plate (yes, Suuzuki does have them) and adjust depending on what trails you plan to ride. Lots of rock riding will be better with a little less pressure. Overall 4 to 5 will fit most trail conditions.
