Tire pressures Pirelli dialbo rosso corsa

[Eldon]

A have a 2007 monster s4r I had Pirelli dialbo rosso corsa mounted at a local shop and the tech said to run 38 rear 36 front. I was thinking it was a little high. What r some other people running for the street not track.
Thanks

32 on both with the exact same bike but an 06.....ok almost exactly.

32/34 is my preferred combo, or a pound lower on each if it's a cool morning that will be a warm-hot day. 36 38 seems rather high as the max psi is something like 42. I'd think a rear, measured cold at 38 would be hitting 4X on a warm sporting day.

[Eldon]

I might try 36 34 see how that does

[koko64]

Thats what I run, but I dont panic if they're a pound or two down from that.

34/36 seems to work well for me.

How do u guys like the Rosso corsa and what kind of milage can I expect out of them.

Thanks

31.5/34.5 per http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/motorcycle/genericContent/fitment.html

Thanks C. Site wouldnt open for me.
I'll keep mine around 32/34 on the M900 (shes quite light). Is that the spec for an old 900?
Thats the pressure I let them drop to before getting out the pump.
Some modern tyres have stiffer sidewall construction from racing tech and like a lower pressure than the old 34/36 rule of thumb.

[Curmudgeon]

Hmmm... Site works fine on this end. Your M900 is the same as above but Pirelli recommends (and Ducati, BTW) 32.5/36.5 on my 796, so in Pirelli's case, softer doesn't follow.

On the track cold pressure "might" be lower to allow for the PSI increase HOT at track speeds?

[koko64]

The psi for my Pirelli SBK slicks on the gixxer are about 27-28/32-33 hot after about an hour on the warmers.
They wrre cold pressures for the Rossos?

I know what it is, the 900 has an oem 170 rear . I reckon for the 180 most run then 32/36.
I'll try that and 32/34.

Installed on the bike 36-34 good grip. The bike seems to sit higher it had Pirelli diablos on it before the Rosso corsa maybe there a little biger

[Curmudgeon]

36/34?? Try 33/36 then. You have it backwards. With 36/34, the front will have more tendency to push, the worst kind of slide IMO. Your bike is already a little light in the front compared to new Monsters.

[Eldon]

Iwas running 36 rear 34 front

Correction.
I am surprised how well they are wearing. Over 2000 kms (1200 miles, oops) and they are better than half good. I thought they would be gone by now.
Excellent grip.
