Jinlun 125-11

I recently downloaded a workshop manual for the Jinny and i am having a problem understanding the tyre pressure indication numbers, they are , front200 kPa,,rear 225kPa, what the hell is that in English, can anyone help me with this one please????? I personally do not have those figures on my tyre pump gauge so would be chuffed iff someone could tell me what they are, cheers RAMPA

29psi front, 33psi rear......close as... :-)

No hello just straight in with a question eh? Glad that Jaydee could help [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hello and welcome :)

You'll find loads of knowledgable people on here, who are willing to help with any problems, as you've found [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Can't answer your question but welcome Rampa to WB [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hi Rampa, nice introduction.... there is a technical slate for that kind of question if you need to ask in the future.
Re. your tyre pressures, the Chinese won't have a clue what psi is, it's only those who live in the stone age like us and the septics who insist on using old outdated units like this.
The modern world talk about pressure in metric units. Pa = Pascal (named after a French physicist) and a Pascal is another name for the force of 1 Newton per square metre (N/m²) The k bit stands for kilo, or thousand (1 x 10³) as in kilometre (1000 metres) kilogram (1000 grams) - get it?
A pressure of 100kPa is 100,000N/m² and is known as 1 bar, and is equivalent to near enough 14.5psi, so as JayDee says, your front tyre pressure is 200kPa or 2 bar (2 x 14.5) = 29psi, and your rear is 2.25 bar which equates to 32.65psi, or 33 near as dammit.

Here endeth the lesson, welcome to Chinese manuals [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
