Tire pressures?

Noddy question i know, but what are the correct pressures to be running on my duke?
(748 bp with bridgestone bt012's, 180 rear, though I doubt it makes any difference!)

Send an e-mail to Bridgestone and ask them as they should have done a lot of research on tyre pressures. Work with Michelin.

Like Nige says, do a search for tyre pressure debates.
I use 012SS's for both road and track day work.
I run 30 rear 28 front on track and
32 rea 30 front on the road but thats me.
Hoping to try BT001 this year to see how they go on track?

I phoned them and talked to a cracking guy who does track days as well - cant remember his name but a bit of human interaction is always nice from time to time !!!!

Spent many miles on the Blade trying different trye pressures... came up with 36r/32f for BT010's
Now I'm trying out different numbers on the 996 with 207's
So far I've come up with 30r/28f for the track, and 32r/32f for road riding, but I'm a slow road rider so small differences shouldn't be too noticable to me.
