30 psi and up?

this is a really squid question, but im just curious to how many ppl run there psi at 30 in the rear at all times. i just went from 20 to 30 and its a little frustrating. you really have to be riding the idle smoothly or it just takes you into a circle. but yea, how many of you all are running your **** in the 30psi and up range

Re: 30 psi and up?

i think no one does. 25 and under for me. Since i still use my 08 for street use it stays at 25. the 05 is at 15.

try adding a pound every session , once you learn how to ride with correct psi in the tire you will never look back

Re: 30 psi and up?

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but what psi do ya'll run in the front tire. I have been trying to work on my stoppies and the bike trys the tank slap or I end up screetching to a halt. It almost feels line the front tire is made of jello?!?!?

What tire do you have,psi,damper,is your tire in good condition,could be the surface your riding on?

I run a Pirelli ST great tire but gonna try a pilot power soon, 30 psi, scotts (which saved my a$$ my plenty of times)

I cant say anything about the rear tire cause my wheelies poop

To add to what WK said.
Maybe you are putting too much input on the bars to cause the slap or the forks are tweaked? Bouncing more helped stop my front tire from locking up with 32psi in it. IDK man it can be done though.
