I was just curious on what everyone keeps there tire PSI at? The book says i think 32 and 36 or something like that but my tires are at 26 and 23 when i bought my bike from the dealer?

 

listen to your M.O.M.

I agree with Chris the bike was prob chillin at the dealership for a while and the pressure dropped some over time.

 

The maximum pressure on the stock tires is 41 psi (front & rear), but generally 35-40 is a good range for road usage.
When you take the bike on the track, they recommend reducing the pressure about 10psi because lower PSI = gooier tires = better traction. Then why not ride around with your tires slightly lower all the time? Because it causes your tires to wear faster, your mileage to suffer, and if you hit a stiff enough bump (which are practically nonexistent on a racetrack), it could give you a flat tire with lower psi.
This dealership bike probably has been sitting on the sales floor and just hasn't been checked in a while.
Good luck and Peace!

okay i will put 35 in both front and back???

 

why not run em at what the book says? they don't just make up the numbers

 

i run just a couple pounds under what the book calls for in the rear for better traction and jack it back up a few when i have my girlfriend on the back, it has a pirelli on the back and i know they make good car tires, anything good to say about their bike tires???
