Sharpo,

Those tyre pressures look too high, I thought a 748/916/996/998 ran 33 front 35 rear when cold? Check the handbook??

Just had a look in the 998 owners manual that comes with the bike.

Front 2.1 bar
Rear 2.2 bar

To Convert to PSI x 14.5

so Front is 30.45 PSI
Rear is 31.9

Manual also says put 0.2 to 0.3 bar more in to "avoid front wheel rim distortion when riding on bumpy roads"

Maybe PB know best

Don't know if the 916/996/748 manuals recommend something different.

Hey Ho,

Ray.

I'll give it a go Ray.

The 998 and 916 are a similar weight and the geometry must be the same so it should be ok.
