Motorcycle Tire Pressure Guide (OEM Data)
Find the correct motorcycle tire pressure for your bike using OEM-based reference values. Use the lookup tool to instantly check front and rear tire pressure in PSI and BAR, then explore brand and model-specific pages for exact recommendations.
How this tire pressure data is verified
This tool separates OEM-verified tire pressure values from estimated reference values. OEM verified means the pressure value has been checked against a manufacturer owner’s manual, official service documentation, or a model-specific source. When models or generations use different pressure tables, they are split into separate entries instead of being grouped together. Estimated values are clearly marked and should always be confirmed against your owner’s manual or the sticker on your motorcycle.
Find Tire Pressure by Brand
Choose your motorcycle brand to find the correct tire pressure for your bike. Each brand includes supported models with detailed front and rear specifications.

Why Correct Tire Pressure Matters
Incorrect tire pressure affects handling, braking, tire wear, and long-distance comfort. Using manufacturer-recommended values helps keep your motorcycle stable, predictable, and safe in real-world riding conditions.
The Physics of Heat
As you ride, the air inside the tire heats up. That increases pressure, which is why OEM values are specified as cold pressure.
This is the practical takeaway from Gay-Lussac’s law: when temperature rises, pressure rises too. A warm tire can look correctly inflated even when the cold starting pressure is too low.
Altitude & Touring Conditions
Long-distance riders crossing mountain regions may notice slight changes in feel as altitude and temperature change. The effect is usually smaller than heat buildup from riding, but it is still worth knowing if you tour in alpine conditions.
Should you check motorcycle tire pressure hot or cold?
Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold. That gives you the closest match to OEM recommendations and makes your readings more consistent.
Do you need more pressure with luggage or a passenger?
Often, yes. Heavier loads usually require different recommended values, especially for the rear tire. Always use the model-specific OEM guidance where available.
Why does exact model data matter?
Different motorcycles use different tires, wheel sizes, load ratings and intended riding conditions. That is why a model-specific pressure guide is more useful than a generic chart.
