Tire pressure for stunting

Hello i have a Yamaha R1 - 03.

My question is what tire pressure i should run for stunt riding?

I also have a pit bike, a Yamaha TTR 125 with 100/90 - 19 front and 120/80 - 16 rear.. what pressure should i run on it for stunting?

depends for what kind of riding/surface/rider skill...try lowering slowly and see what suits you the best...20-25 should be good allaround...

I run 28 and I stunt and hit the turns...feels solid on both aspects but bruno is right...depends on if your gonna do slow ****...if its a STUNT only bike...what are your goals, whats your expirience...etc..

Do a search and find out what others have/are runnig and you can go off that!

i run right around 27 to 29..i'm still a noob so i'm still experimenting with it, but it seems to work for the lots i hit up..but bruno is right, just slowly lower it, that's what i did, and it worked out good..you can def. start to feel a difference..take it easy and be safe..

Re: Tire pressure for stunting

You guys gotta start low and build your way up for slow stuff. Id start out with 7lbs and work your way up a couple of pounds at a time. I rock like 16-18lbs tops and ive been tryin to get it higher to do faster O's. More pressure means less stability
