      Manual for GS1100G says 8.5 psi is standard, and has a warning about not exceeding 35 psi.

          :-D THANKS --

          So - you recommend I leave or set it at that 8.5 or can it come up a little - say 10-15 ?

          Just riding around town to and from to work.
          Hardly ever on the HWY.

              Standard pressure for the forks on a '78 GS1000 is 11 psi. You should check the pressure with the front tire off the ground. The suggested adjustment range is from 11 psi to 16 psi. Use a hand pump to adjust the pressure.

                  8 psi is what is recommended. If you ride aggressively, you can kick it up to about 14 psi.

                      Ditto all of this.
                      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
