I used to run my old forks at 5psi. Worked ok. I binned the forks and fitted rz500 forks and run new springs and emulators and that made a proper difference.

0.0 pis (zero) works best for air forks of that era.

The trouble is air pressure in the forks pushes the seals onto the stanchion causing stiction. Better to use spacers on top of the springs if you need to increase pre-load.

Just consider those schrader valves an efficient way to bleed off excess air from the fork.
