Thanks for your response. Firstly I must appologise because my bike is actually a DRZ 250 (2007). The 400 seemed to be the nearest fit. The tyres are dunlop sportmax GPR 100F 120/70ZR17 M/C(58w) on the front and GPR a-10 150/60R17 M/C 66H on the rear. The bike has no provision for a pillion passenger and I'll be travelling at speeds up to 100kpm. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks again Bill (wsnowden)Dear Robotek,

The required tyre pressure is established by the amount of load or weight that the tyre is carrying. Over or under inflation can cause excessive tire tread wear. The recommended pressures for your tyres are shown in raised lettering on the sidewall of the tyres.
Depending on what you are towing, you will know how much additional weight is being placed on the cars rear tyres, and you can adjust the pressure accordingly.
Personally, When I am towing, I increase the tire pressures by about 5 psi just to reduce sidewall flexing and create a more stable towing package.
Hope this helps.
no
the sump oil deteriorates if too hot and that destroys the engine
It is designed to have an oil cooler so fit one
Probably removed because it was damaged
contact a dealer service for the oil quantities and viscosity requirements
There is a factory decal inside the drivers door area (when door is open) that has the recommended tire pressure when cold and also the recommeded tire size for your vehicle.
Hi, a 1999-2003 suzuki burgman /an 400 using standard tyre sizes 110/90-13 front is 1'75 bar (25psi) 130/70-13 rear is. 2 bar-(29psi) and 2.8 bar (41psi when carrying a passenger) check the tyre for correct seating on the rim, dont think you have done any harm, the only danger inflating small tyres to a high pressure is you risk blowing it off the rim, as you have now corrected it you should be ok with that, paul
Well,...what brand of tire does it have????. every tire is different, as you maybe know....Look at the tire, the brand should be written on the sidewall, and most tires have the recommended tire pressure written on the tire as well. If you know the brand, then contact the tire manufacturer ( if they are still in business ). If the tires are Japanese or Chinese, then just ask your local moto shop,...they will kindly recommend the right pressure for you....If all else fails,...buy some modern tires for your bike....1981 was a long time ago!!
There should be a sticker on the frame or swing arm that tells you the recommended pressure. I run 35 psi front and 35 psi rear. It gives a firmer ride but you also benefit with less tire cupping and better handling.
As always, correct pressure depends on the tyre fitted but if it is running with the standard tyres that it had fitted from new then:
Single rider: Front is 1.75 bar (25 PSI) Rear 2.0 (29 PSI)
Fully loaded (Panniers and or pillion passenger) Front 2.0 bar (29 PSI) Rear 2.25 bar (32 PSI)
These settings from the book for a 2006 model, though I imagine that they apply to all with very little if any variation
