I was hoping some of you LE riders could let me know what tire pressure you are running with the LE's spoked wheels. The book says 32 front and 38 rear, but that is only up to 200 lb load weight. I am at about 350 lbs load weight when riding two up. Any advice would be appreciated.

I keep mine at 40psi front & rear

Is that on your Vision tires though? They aren't the same are they? The max psi on the 130/70 B18 63H E2 (spoked)is 36 for the front and 40 for the 180/60R 16 E3 (spoked). So I'm thinking maybe running in the middle at 34 front and 39 rear when 2 up?

spoked or not I run 40psi f&r....... have had no problems and have had even tread wear, my wrench also runs all the bikes at 40psi, seems to work?

36 / 40 according to the manual over 200lbs. I keep my XR at 38 / 40 but I wish I could say I always rode 2 up to hit the 300lb mark!

Actually,the manual states maximum tire pressures at 38 psi in the front and 40psi in the rear.I wouldn't go below the recommended tire pressures.If anything I would run equal front and rear or bump them both up to40 psias suggested by MeSeaHunt.Right now I'm running 38-38 for one up.
Ride safe,

It's actually 36 max psi for the Elite 2 front, which is what is on the LE, not 38, which is for the E3. I'm assuming less max psi because of the spoked wheel?

my bad,I went through the manual last weekend and went by there specs and assumed it was for all of the Xthe bikes,but I;m stll staying at 38psi up front.I like the way the bike rides and handles,and thanks again for the tip on the rear shock as mine was also empty.I went out for a 150 miles this morning and although my but still got numb I didn't have any lower back pain and was able to stay in the saddle longer.
Ride safe,
