Never stop exploring
Pirelli has published a technical guide which lays out its own recommended tire pressure for each of their tires specific to every motorcycle.
For example I'm running their basic Pirelli Diablo street tire and here's Pirelli's pressure for the FZ6:
Front 2.50 bar / 36.26 psi
Rear 2.9 bar / 42.06 psi
FZ6 stock:
Front 33 psi
Rear 36 psi
This is a large difference in pressure and I think many (including myself) have stuck to 33/36 on aftermarket tires.
I'd appreciate it if folks could share their experiences- have you stuck to stock pressure (33/36) or researched and ran the recommended pressure for your tire matched to your bike? Tried both, which worked better?
