Hi all, I'm relatively new to biking. I have a sanya 125 and i'm a little unsure of what pressure my tyres should be at. There is a plate on the bike stating front tyre at 175 kpa and rear at 200 kpa. I have no idea what kpa is or how to convert to psi or bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
