Wot about tyre pressures? Wot you running yer 999 on pressure wise? It says in the book 2.1 +2.2 bar front and rear respectively. Whats that in the real world of psi? And, how do you find the right pressure to suit your riding style? |
oh and do you think my 999r rims need more pressure to protect them as they are the lightweight forged jobbies? |
30/32 if my calculations are correct and it works for me, road and track, don't know if body weight makes a difference, as I am a bit of a FB:lol: |
Are you on a 190 rear FB ;o) cos tween u and me , im an FB aswell... |
to get psi 2.1 x 14.5 = 30.45 lb per sq.in 2.2 x 14.5 = 31.9 lb per sq.in [Edited on 24-4-2004 by Nigel C] |
190 Andy. Near enough then Nigel, didn't even use a calculator:lol: |
Its just my rear was nearly 40psi as delivered!! and my front 36. Now my guage is calibrated so i believe its correct!!! I thought this was high so i dropped the pressures to 34psi, and now it seems a bit loose! sort of squirmy.. understand wot i mean? |
Front 30psi Rear 32psi (180) Feels ok to me.Just had some Dunlops fitted and the front end seems a little more harsh compared to the OE Mich's.Stiffer sidewalls maybe? |
i am running on 34/36 at the moment (on OE Pilot Sport)...have to say its a bit harsh and nervous... |
I was just checking out the tyre range on the Bridgeston web site and they quote 36psi & 42psi or 2.5bar / 2.9bar for the 999 on 010's. So how do you decide on the right pressures with the bike mfg quoting 1 set of pressures and the tyre mfg another especially if you take into account insurance type issues. |
