42 is great for inner city riding, with lots of starting and stopping. Mid 30's is better if you're going around corners and moving a lot since your tyre temp will be high.
RE: Rim decals - DjPete - 30-12-2012
yeah now going for 34's all-round Pan as suggested by Tex
RE: Rim decals - DjPete - 30-12-2012
34psi front and back done. Feels great just how it should feel. Personally I wouldn't recommend 42psi as per book. For me horrible. You feel every bump, too responsive and no feel. My opinion.
Amendment, decided to go up a little to 38psi f and rear. lol
RE: Rim decals - PostmanPete - 30-12-2012
I think it also depends on the tyre. Had a Pure on the front when I bought the bike. It felt shit at the usual 36, tried 38 & 40, settled on 40. Always run 42 rear. Michelin rep at work said 36f/42r for PR3's
Cheers

Don't listen to Tex!
34 is only going to work if you have a dog on your tank. Go for 34.5

hahahahaPaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
RE: Rim decals - RyanG - 30-12-2012
Yeah, that's what I meant. 42 is in the manual but feels horrible personally. Good to muck around a bit with tyre pressures to see what works
Previous owner of my bike recommended 36 psi on road and 28 psi on track with 2CT's. I'm now running Metzeler Sportec M5's and am liking 34ish in them on road.
Anyways.... Sorry for the off topic hijack :)

Thx people, u have solved a problem for me.. I had bike serviced after winter in shed and yep the tires were down so garage put them back to spec... damn bike has felt like it is jumping all over road on corners, def not the smooth girl I rememebred from previous summer. I thought I just lost some of my smoothness riding and have been trying to find my groove again... I will now dump tyres down to 38 and see, then play with it form there.
Thts what I like about here, you get really helpful info for those tht are not riding 24/7

Looking good Pete better than the blue pin stripes that were on there
RE: Rim decals - DjPete - 31-12-2012
Thanks Rod. Batfink it scared the shit out of me when I came back from the dealer with those pressures. It was a completely different bike, I thought something was broken or on wrong, couldn't believe tyre pressure could make such a difference. I dare anyone to try it. Put say 45psi in test and then do same with say 35psi. 2 different bikes entirely
RE: Rim decals - Batfink - 31-12-2012
