Can anyone tell me what pressures I should be running front to rear on my ZX6R (636) 2003 model? The bike has been sat up all winter while I have been off travelling, so want to make sure all is OK when I take it out for its first ride this evening.

Cheers guys,

Alex

Thanks Y2Blade. I will take a look tonight when I get home. I think I have the handbook somewhere, but it has been a while since I looked at it, so it may take a bit of searching for

Nearly every sports tyre has the same recommended pressures by the tyre manufacturer. Best to check but they won't be too different from 36/42.

my 06 636, recommends Front 36 Rear 42, if thats any help....

prefer to run F-35,R-41, seems to ride better....

Reminds me must order a new rear.
