Cool guy's. Seems most people stick with 33/36 so that's what I'll do till i'v got time to fiddle properly.

Cheers

How about start at 33/36, and increase to 36/42 (1 psi at the front, 2psi at the back each time) and see what you like?

I ran 36/42 on my Z6s too, really didn't like them at the 33/36 level particularly on the front...all washy.

Just swapped to Pilot Road 2s though but I haven't scrubbed them in or had a chance to check what the garage set them to. Was going to make sure they were 36/42 as well but after Lissa's comment with the Michelin 'official' response maybe not. Hmmm......

Was just doing some reading and found one site which recommended setting the pressures to manufacturer's recommended settings and then going for a ride on a twisty until the tyres are warmed up. At this point, measure them again....

Apparently they should ideally have risen by 10% front/20% rear, any less than that and you should let some air out, any more and some should be added.

What do people think, anyone heard of this method of measuring before? Never come across it myself.

The man at Avon says 36/42. This is what I now run and the bike has never handled so sharply.
