Well that depends on what your riding style is, commuting, Sunday blasts, track days. Then there's tyre type etc etc Just saying I have an 07 blade what tyre pressure should I run probably won't get you the correct answer bud You won't go far wrong I suspect with 34/36 as a start
I run 32/36 in the summer and as it gets cooler shift more too 34/38. Also depends on your tyres if you have Dunlop ntec or Michelin Power One you can run them at very low pressures on track circa 21 psi cold in the rear
As posted depends on your riding style, temp road or track. I'll run 36/36 summer fast road. Maybe 2 psi up I cold . Run 30/29 on track. Again depends on tyres as well. Im on sportsmarts at the mo
I tend to run 34 front 38 rear on all road tyres. seems to suit me the best. On track I use pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's and run 30/30 and I dont use warmers.
jesus, so your running 36-38 psi in both tyres on track....sheesh. Set hot, always set hot, 29f 27r on your average uk day. By the way, for those who dont set hot, speak to Complog, they will advise you on this, and they provide the entire bsb paddock with tyres. As for road, 36/34. Can never understand people with more in the rear than front, especially if your fast road/track.
id go for pressures d said above 36f/34r remember the average track tyre gains 6-8 psi when hot, road tyres even more because of their harder construction, you want to be aiming for the pressures advised on tyre or swingarm when HOT, the amount of folk who came to me when i worked for myself asking me to repair there bikes after crashes from 'the front just washed out' or 'The rear just let go' is amazing, funnily enough when i found enough air in the tyres to fill the entire nazi Zeppelin fleet it showed why.
dredging up this old post because I was curious to know why its best to have higher pressure on the front and lower on the back, how does it behave/help with riding on road and track ?
I need to know the same also, Got another track day early July and last track day set 34/35 and got some tearing on rear but front looked ok and felt good, so do you advise less rear on track They are cold pressure btw
think thats because they open the owners manual and it tells you to run higher pressure in the rear than the front.some tyre manufacturers also tell you the same but also tell you to swap this around for track's. I ride roads only and usually have mine set at 34/36 on power 2ct's but I try to look at tyre wear to see whats going on.tried higher pressures in the front but the feedback didnt feel right.heres also a handy wear guide Motorcycle Tyre Wear Guide - The different types and what causes them
I'm not doubting any the above advice but by the same tolken why do manufacturers quote much higher pressures and cold one's at that? Honda quote 38 F 42 R I think so that would translate in to a Hot pressure of nearly 50+ in the rear? They must know this, so why?
I run now with Dunlop D211 Gp's about 32-32 cold in good warm weather. I went out Sunday with this pressure in and it felt great for fast road riding. Run no more than 30PSi front or rear "HOT" on track. I've tried different tyre pressure over the years and found the lower to be better for my style of riding I do up it to say 34/36 when touring. Maybe a tad more
