Hi I have an 09 cbr 600 rr and am new to riding sports bikes infact this is my first bike in 30 years so VERY new would like some opinions on tire pressure I have the dunlop oem tires that came with the bike, not sure what they should feel like when riding so any tips appreciated, I ride on country roads very twisty and sometime very wet, bike does not feel lie the reviews I have read if that makes sense but it could be me but just thought I would gain some knowledge about tires thanks

 

Ive got the Dunlop Q2 and I usually run it 5-6 lbs under whats on the tire. When its at max, it is bumpier, it seems.

 

I run 36 front, 42 rear thats what the bike calls for and thats with the tires cold, never check the pressure of the tires when they are warm.

 

Man I love the color on your bike bro it looks sweet man, any way I run a straight 34 all around its alot better in my hot weather. Johnnyh

 

Go with the recommended tire pressure until you know better (aka: have experience)

It'll be printed on the tires

 

What works and feels best for me is 36psi front and rear. Michelin 2ct is what I usually run. When I ran the manufacture recommended psi I just didn't like the feedback.Tire pressure is a personal preference, eventually you''ll find what work best for you.

 

Be careful - the max PSI is always listed on the tires, but not the recommended pressure - that is vehicle specific.

 

Run +2 psi front and rear in summer

minus 2 front and rear in winter

baseline 36 / 42

 

I thought it was the opposite, less in summer because heat makes more pressure and more in winter because cold lowers pressure. Johnnyh
