Yep. When I lowsided, it was cold that morning, and was my first time on Qualifiers. We were taking it easy and the 1st lap, T2, it felt like I hit ice and BAM.......... On the ground and oil dumped from the bike on the track. I was REAL popular that day! I had the SV with me too though, so I prepped it and rode it the rest of the weekend and it has Diablo Stradas on it! Those Stradas stuck better than the Qualifiers did!

Sorry for the slight highjack, but what should the tire preasure be for regular street riding. Perrelli Diablos, I believe. Thanks.

36/36 is a good area to be in unless you are doing alot of highway. I bump up to 30 or 40 in the rear then to increase milage. Remember...... more air pressure helps keep the tires cooler. Cooler tires last longer but do grip slightly less.

34/32 is a good place to start with the Dunlops. Since its a street tire you don't want it to get too hot or it will turn to grease. Therefore a high pressure is better to prevent the carcass from flexing too much.

I did the Reg Pridmore class at Laguna Seca a few months back. They were pushing everyone to go with 34/32 for their setup. I dropped mine down to that and have never gone back. Really happy with it. I also had the suspension setup and it was a whole world of difference. Highly recommend it!
