Tyre Pressures - Road?
 

After a couple of trackdays recently where I have let the tyres on the CBR down from the manufacturers suggested 36 front 42 rear, to 32 front and rear.

I have not put them back up from the last one however and am wondering what the pressures really should be, especially with winter approaching fast.

Thanks,
Kev

RTFM ;)

Or check with your tyre supplier.

BTW - did Honda suggest 42 rear?

Any reason why you wouldnt stick with manufacturers figures? Occasionally you get a different set of pressures recommended by a tyre manufacturer in which case I would follow their advice but otherwise stick with standard pressures.

I always found the recommended pressures best on my CBR. Dropped them by 2 - 4 psi and it just felt squirrelly. Can't get the heat in them on the road to get the pressures up. Always felt most confident at 36F - 42R

Honda 36F 42R :thumright:

Tend to ride with mine 2psi down on factory recomendation..34f/40r,bike just feels a bit more planted on the road but each to thier own i guess.

it is the tyre manufacturers recommendations you should follow; not the bike manufacturers

Re: Tyre Pressures - Road?
 

Depends, what tyres you have, what you like and what you're doing with the bike, change mine as and when I deem in necessary :smt102 it's another of those; if you can't feel which is best stick to what is recommended.

Cheers Mark.

Bike recommended feels a bit twitchy at times, 32 & 32 feels great on track but not so great on the A2 on my commute. I have put them back this morning but might try SV-Robo's idea of just down a couple.

I am just concerned about winter commuting on the CBR again, although if I'm honest and could find a supermoto for £1k then that would be very tempting.
