Default tire pressure

I'm new to atv's. I just bought a 2009 brute force 650i. I got some 26" ITP Bajacross tires with ITP 14" wheels. The guys at the dealership couldn't tell me what tire pressure I should run. They just didn't know. Can anyone help me?

I'd say between 4-8 psi. Really depends on what kind of terrain you're riding in. Rocky trails or sand, you would want lower psi.


Edit: Just saw where someone said it was 4 for the front, 5 for the rear. Don't know if that's what the owners manual says though.

I run 4 to 5 all around, for pretty much all terrains on my 650sra. When I had my tires mounted they put 7psi in each (what was stated on the tire) rode like i was rollin on cinder blocks. PROMPTLY dropped it to 4-5 ish

per the sticker on my bike it recommends 5 rear 4 front like previously posted

thamks. I knew what was on the side of the tires was extremely wrong. It says 15psi. I guess it is because the rims are larger, making the tire lower profile. But I have them at about 6, and I know I wouldn't want them any harder. We have been cutting trails on our own land, so I just needed something for typical trails in the woods. Don't do a whole lot of muddin' or rock crawling.

The sticker on my bike says 2.9 psi, Irun 3 as the compressor doesn't do decimals.
