Tire pressure

[bikerman]

what should the tire pressures be for both front and rear, also how much oil does the firestorm hold? cheers!

Tyres = 36/42
Oil = 4.5 litres from dry, but usually just under 4 litres when changing oil & filter

Tyres = 36/42

These are "safe" pressures, and can carry a pillion. I never, ever run that kind of pressure on the road.

Different tyres will feel better with different pressures, but all (that I have tried) will feel a lot better at lower pressures that 36/42. I run Pilot Power 2CTs at 32F/34R. pilot Road 2CTs run at 34F/36R. The Racetech K2s that I have on at the moment run at about 32F/34R. These are road pressures. Track pressures are lower still.
Dropping the pressure will get the tyre hotter, faster, and give a better contact patch.

Contact the tyre manafacture directly if you are unsure (Michelin gave me the pressures above).
