Tire Pressure???

I have been working on doing a wheelie for some time know. I am still new to tring diffrent things to better it. I have a Gixxer 6 with 1 down, 5 up. And the main question now is what should I set the tire pressure to? I here that it makes it alot easier to lower it cause it calms the side to side motion down. So what is your input?

Re: Tire Pressure???

If you ride street alot run about 18psi. Any less and you run a high chance of bending or breaking a rim if ya hit a pothole.

10psi to about 18psi depends on your style of riding.
