Hi Mutch,
I just checked my parts manual on the out side chance that the pressure was there but it was not.
Sorry.

Mutch between 10 or 13 bar should be ok. Ohlins recommend 13 for a pair of vintage shocks and a modern KYB shock is set at 10 bar so somewhere between that will work. 10 bar is 145lbs.
