    Front/rear

    Road 34/ 34 cold
    Track 30/30 hot

    seems to work well for me:)

    tyre pressures for a cbr600rr are the same for a cbr1000rr and yeah, never say "only" 600 as they can eat a 1000 in the corners for breakfast.

    I run 34f and 38r for the road. Certainly seems to handle better than the pressures shown in the user manual, which I believe are 4psi higher than I run.

    34 Front & 38 Rear for road use on Michelin Pilot Power 2ct, just makes it feel more planted when cornering

    WHAT! you dont take rear prisoners - you mean you dont ride a CBR1000PV (PV = passenger vehicle) instead you ride a CBR1000RR (race replica) like me - all hail the RR.

    for my tyres michelin recommends 36F 42R for road and 30F 24R for tracks but I found the 36/42 too hard on the
    roads over here.

    I found that until I got my suspension setup done. Then it was fine.
