Paul, I'm 'shocked' that you didnt search for the guide that I posted on the board years ago about 996 suspension setup

Dont worry - it was so long ago I cant find it either - but I do know where I stored the original....

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/flsntl/...suspension.pdf

Its a 7Mb download and sadly only contains info on the std 996 & 996S, std 996 track pressures they list are 29R/31F, which I guess ties in with the above.

Drinks are now on you in the bar

Cheers!!!

Frank

Jeez Frankie, that's a pretty thin excuse for ripping me up on the bar tab

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Those settings from PB are for the poverty versions of the 996. Mr James has an r, almost the pinacle of the 916/996/998 series fitted with Ooooooohlins

29 rear 31 front wont be far away if its dry.

I find the bike doesn't feel right on the lower than road pressures until the tyres have warmed up the pressures have gone up.

Does anyone have any "target" pressures for warm/hot tyres from a reliable source?



Ray.

i know it is metric but 1.9 front and 2.1 rear. Got this from a Ducati team racing at Oscherleben some time ago. Seems to be fine.

Target working pressures for Pirelli Supercorsa Diablos would be 34-36 PSI front and rear HOT. I imagine its similar for the other Supercorsa tyres although I wouldn't want to bet on it.

I reckon that's about right for all tyres-I used to run the slicks on my TZ250 at 36psi hot straight out of the warmers.
