From previous discussions it seems that most people run similar tyre pressures.
It was suggested to me at Snetterton that reducing the TP may allow me to use more of the front tyre.
Seemed to help and give more grip/feel or something. Just got try all things I guess.

Its important for sure, but as long as you know what TP's you're running and what profile tyres, you can try changing them and see if you notice the difference - if you con't - great, one less thing to worry about!!

I have found TP's to be very important and can actually change the characteristics of your bike. My R1 wasnt turning enough and we had run out of ideas on the suspension, so we lowered the TP on the front and it improved ALOT... we ended up on 26psi on a hot day.
