you do realise bike tyres lose a tiny bit on every corner, every time you brake, every time you accelerate.

check them regularly
 
Running 33 front - 36 rear and have done for years the 36 front and 41 rear is for two up as I understand it
and to back me up my t has a sticker to say so!

Here's a good one, Any ideas?

Got a T2, In the scroll down menu there's settings for tyres, front/rear temp & pressure then another submenu with suspension settings set up - front rear soft med hard.
whats that all about theres nothing about it in the manual when I asked the guy at the dealership he just mumbled something about the mille thou then fooked off back into his workshop.

lol..a few years back I had some new 010's fitted.....expecting grippy as fook....went into a roundabout, and the back end stepped out about 6"....just put it down to new unscrubbed tyres....next roundabout it was worse....scared the **** out of me....to this day, I really don't know why I stopped to check the pressures...but was slightly amazed to find 65psi...Tyre shop didn't want to know when I complained....I fit my own now....

30-36 for me, i prefer a slightly softer front tyre, too much in the front and it all gets a bit "flighty" for me !!

My bike will be going to Griffs soon ... and tyre pressure / suspension is on my mind as the front feels far too "chattery" ... if that's a word ... it seems not to be properly stuck to the road anyway
 
Griff carries out suspension set up as part of a full service. He's even volunteered to come out to me and have a look at the set up non my T as I'm not entirely happy with it. Holding a high speed line on a fast sweeper at anything over 90 is not easy she still wants to dip in so constantly needing to compensate. Feels like it needs stiffening up a tad or an old school adjustable damper.

Chattery front end sounds like could be bearings or dare I say it too much air in the front tyre.
 
Sownds like not enuff priload of the spring on the rear shock , iff its chopping arownd on the frunt end , have you had your sags sorted out .

Road 38 rear 34 frunt , why les wate on the bike with race cans ,tiers warm up quicker on kool days on the road .

Track 30 frunt 30 rear ,May to Aurgust , 33 rear 31 frunt. september to november , and running softer saspenshon settings as well for the track .
