I'm really surprised its not in the manual but hey ho. You can also get recommended pressures from each of the tyre manufacturers - just go to their website. Some will just give you one set of pressures others will give you a seperate one for solo riding and another for pillion. I tend to go on the tyre manufacturers recommendations if different from the bike manufacturer.

i'll try that, thanks for the tip G and no its not in my manual but its hardly comprehensive

[Dan505]

Tried pirelli but they don't have any bike charts listed....would 36 front & 40 rear be safe?

[bobf279]

both my bikes are 36 front 42 rear one on bridgestone and the other on avon storms so I think you wouldn't be far out if you used them

Mine is 36psi front & rear regarless of pilling riders / load.
GSXR 600 - 120/70/ZR 17 & 180/70/ZR 17

Dan your suggested tyre pressures are 29 Front 32 Rear without pillions.

Not really a sports bike but my CBF is 36 front 42 rear

I must check them before I go out on it

Cheers Senna, good find :)

Mine has a sticker on the swingarm to remind me, always worth checking for one tucked away somewhere if you're out and can't remember.
