Tyre pressures
 
I am currently running 32/36 on 2CTs just wondering what everyone else is running for fast road riding and on what tyres?

Cheers,

Matt

That seems very low to me.....I run what the manufacturers recommend 36/42

Is that tyre manufacturers or bike manufacturers?

Michelin recommend 36/42 on CTs where as Suzuki the lower pressure.Play about within the two sets of figures till you find what you are happy with. It is only 3/6lbs
p.s.i. but it can make a slight difference
I have CT's on my Triumph and I fnd that 36/42 gives a hard ride so I have come down to 34/40. The slight variation may affect the milage more than handling

+1, i went done the pressures and changed them to 34/38. Horses for courses and dependant on the tyre.

Manufacturer on the CBR as its on standard rubber.....then whatever the tyre brand recommend.....although I'm 99% that I ran 36/42 on the pointy SV I had aswell, and that was standrad D220's and what it said in the book.
