Hi Paul
Not sure if this helps, I am using Pirelli Diablo Corsa's on my 2000, the rear being 190 which I will surely try the 180 when its shot.
Solo road riding and I am running 37 front and 38-39 rear, although I have not tracked them, my last track setting was around 32-33 front and 30-31 rear. Not gospel but it seemed to work ok.
Cheers Pete

I run my 07 factory with 33.5 front and 36.5 rear for road riding, (I doubt the .5 make's a differance). I converted the 2.3 bar and 2.5 bar stated on the rear hugger into psi.

Michelin 2ct's are recommended at 33/36 i run 34/37, 36/42 IMO is to hard for a mille, i run that on my Futura and it is good but never on a Mille.
Best to always measure stone cold
Track pressures on dry tyres will be around the 30/30 mark, i run 27.5 rear and 30.5 front and wets at 34front and 32 rear

Hi all,
I used to run 36psi front and 42 psi rear years ago when i was very inexperienced and 'learning', as i wasn't using the sportsbike to any where near its potential. It made my rear last a lot longer back then:thumbup
Nowadays i'm a bit more experienced and can ride pretty darn quick when i want to. So its best not to run that high a pressure in the rear. Thats more for sports touring bikes.
Road riding I run 36 front and 36 rear. When i can get On track:angry I have 30 front and 30 rear. These will have to be set cold. :exclamation
So if your riding your steed to the circuit make sure you get there nice and early to allow a long time for the tyres to cool before setting your pressures.:biggrin
