Smile Zr 7

Hi need some basic info about tyre pressures service intervals etc for a ZR7 as my son has just got one as his first bike and I need to make sure things are correct. I ride an ER6f, had it since 2007 really like it am nearly up to 13000 miles. love it.
many thanks

I like to keep the pressures up around 50-55#, but I use cast-off race compounds on the street. Cheap is good.

50 lbs? omg. Never used that high of a pressure before. Trial and error for everyone it seems. Enjoy.
