tyre pressure

[kelstonlovesu]

Hi off to paris this w/e with the wife on my GSXR1000 am on Michilin tyres "Piolt sport" any one know the best pressure to be running at?

[Mark_SV]

Aren't your various tyre pressures listed in the bike's manual?

I imagine Pilot Sports would be fine at Suzuki's generic recommended pressures. (Unless Michelin advise differently, which is unlikely.)

most litre bikes seem to be 36 psi front and 42 rear, im not 100% sure but my R1 is,my Fireblade was and my 600RR is,chances are your GSXR will be the same.

thanks for that

I run 36/36 on both rennsports and the current diablo corsas. However heavy luggage and high speed and upping the back is probably a good idea.

Have fun!

Nords. what bennefit do you get from running the rear at 36 instead of the 42 recomended ?

currently running 36/42 with pilot powers

Only that (on the rennsports especially), once warm 36 psi gives no wheelspin in 1st when wheeling and 40+ does (but marginal I admit). I have never had problems with 36/36 and the corsas seem fine with that too.
