Now that I've switched up to larger tires I wonder what tire pressures to use?
You've got to try a bit, what feels good.
My manual states 1,8 bar = ~ 26psi front and 2 bar = ~29 psi rear, for the OEM tires.
Since I prefer a bit more pressure than recommended, to suit my style (it makes the tire warmer, thus grippier on cold mornings) I run now 2 bar front, and 2,2 bar rear = ~ 32 psi. It does feel a bit sharper too to ride, takes away a bit of the vagueness.
I'd say the manual recommendations are a good set point, and then start ball parking the ideal.
130/70-12 Michelin Pilot Sport Front, 140/70-12 Sava MC 29 rear.
Soo happy with them so far. Their grip is awesome. The Sava is quite soft, semi-racing orientated according the maker, and after 2300 kms, I'd say it's about on the half way of it's life. My OEM Sava Monsum were absolutely toasted after 4400 kms.
