tire pressure in 2CTs

[BUSAFETT]

Do I run the same tire pressure I ran in my stock Battlax's with the new 2CTs? Some folks think the dealer underinflated me new tires..


Thanks,

I run F-35 R-36. I only weigh 172#. I do not commute & I ride twisties all day.

I run 30 & 30 during track days, and check after first session.

The Michelins have thinner sidewalls than the Bridgestones, so they typically need a little pressure.

As to what pressure to run. Depends on road surface, weather, temp, and mostly importantly what pace(how fast) you are riding.

Generally;

40-42psi for commuting COLD
35-38psi for twisties COLD
29-35psi for trackdays COLD


Tire pressure is not something you set once and its good for everything. Tire pressure needs to be adjusted depending on what you're doing, the road you're doing it on, and temp...
