Air Pressure for Track Day
 
I'm looking for recommended tire pressure for track use. I'm riding an '07 600RR with Dunlop Qualifiers and I weigh in at around 220lbs. My 1st track day is coming up and I'm just looking for a good starting point.

Ask around when you get to the track. Not much help but the Pirelli guys recommend 33 front and 31 rear for Corsa III's at Portland.

the michelin rep told me at the last day i did that you need to get your cold psi and then check again when you get back to the paddock

if it is over a 5psi difference you dont have enough air
if it only a 2-3 difference you have two much air

Corsa III's run a higher recommended pressure than others. For the Qualifiers, I use 30/30 when using warmers or 32/32 when not using warmers.

Thank you all for you're help. I just want to keep the rubber where it belongs. Thanks,

The only lowside I ever had on a track was due to cold Qualifiers and is why I run warmers now. Make sure you take it easy for a lap or two each session to warm them up!
