For all to check your tire pressure...took the 1k out yesterday after an oil change...notice the bike acting sluggish tippin in and out of the turns...come back check tire pressure...tires were at 26/28 :wtf: no wonder...brought em back up to 36/36...feels much better ;)

Maybe it should be: Tuck, Turn & TWIST

Isn't it 42 on the rear there, Cakes? :poke:

Thats a lil high...guess it depends on specific brand tires too...I like 37/37...any higher and I feel the bike tends to move around more, use more suspension because of hard tires.

Ron @ WCW told me it should be 42, 36 in the front. He put 42 in there and the ride handling appeared to improve, but it could be my imagination. :confused:

EDIT: This is on the OEM Michelin Pilot Sports.

I believe it's a matter of getting used to a certain pressure at the track as opposed to the street, but as we both know they are two entirely different animals. I've found from personal experience as well as from those on the street that if they're running any lower than the stock psi the bike feels sluggish in the front and slippery in the rear in the twisties. That's what the suspension's for, let it do it's job, and the tires will do theirs. ;)
