I have just put a new set of Michelin Pilot Powers on my busa. I have been told to run the front at 36psi and the rear at 42psi. As these are fairly soft compound tyres are these tyre pressures right. I previously had a set of HPX's on it, which were absolutely shitful and was running them at 42psi both front and rear. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks for that. I'll give those pressures a try and see how it goes. They are a great tyre and inspire a lot of confidence and it feels like you're on rails. When your wellbeing hinges on a patch the size of a handprint, you need all the grip you can get. I'm in Victoria and they cost me $500 (from Mick Hone Suzuki) for the set plus fitting. Any suggestions where I might get them cheaper.

Thanks Stewart, I'll give them a try. Have you got the suspension fixed yet after removing the link out of the chain?

Still sorting it out Chris, getting there, slowly.

Tell me what you want and I can ask on your behalf on Monday if you want.

Thanks Stewart. Pretty right at the moment. I have just put the new set on and they should last for a couple of thousand ks (I hope). I just needed to know if there was someone, preferably out east (Ringwood) who doesn't charge like wounded bulls. A mate had a set of Powers fitted to his Blade on Thursday for $375 but he knew the chap. I guess it's just a case of knowing someone in the industry.
