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?

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.
