 Why do people say this?
I run 10 psi in my '94 KLE500, also ran 10 psi in my old KLR650
Bicycle or hand pump ONLY, do NOT use a compressor or service station air outlet
Let all the air out then pump them up with the hand pump [takes very little].
I use a pump with a built in gauge on it, letting the air out each time I check first means I can get them accurate as air bleeds out when you try to check with a hand pressure gauge [Southern Cross' method is a very good option as well].
Edit:
By the way, there is a sticker on the right fork leg of KLE500's stating the maximum air pressure that can be put in the forks.
