Brakes and Tires

I was wondering what tire pressure you all are running in the front and rear tires?

Also are the Goldfren brake pads any count?

32 front and rear for me. Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3's. Have not tried any other pressure level, but 32 felt good at a recent track day. Tremendous level of grip from these tires.

Re: Brakes and Tires

stree use on Greek slippery roads.
36F - 42R as the tires hardly get a chance to warm up properly...

Track 32fr sounds reasonable..

Re: Brakes and Tires

Tire pressure depends on the ambient temp, road/track temp, the tires, suspension setup and what you are looking for.

Then use whatever your manual says. Also should be printed on a sticker somewhere on the bike. On mine it is on the swingarm. Then you would go down from there on the track.
