Suspension - Honda Goldwing GL1100 Interstate 1981 Owner's Manual

SUSPENSION
The front and rear suspension of this
motorcycle can provide the desired ride
under various rider/cargo weights and
driving conditions through adjustment of
the air pressure.
The recommended pressures under normal
conditions are:
Front 1.0-1.5 kg/em' (14-21 psi)
Rear 2.0-4.0 kg/em' (28-57 psi)
Low air pressure settings provide a softer
ride and are for light loads and smooth
road conditions. High air pressure settings
provide a firmer ride and are for heavy
loads and rough road conditions.
