Front tire preasure for long endos?

What is a good tire preasure to run for long endos but yet still be able to ride the street its not a parking lot bike. I know there is to much preasure in the tires now because I had it put on at a racing shop. Any info would help

I run 18-20 lbs. in the front all the time. If you are always on good roads with a good tire (Pilot Sport) you can run 25 or so psi.

5 - 10 what??? doubt it.. I run 25psi and that seems to work fine and you get a little more traction that way.

Re: Front tire preasure for long endos?

If you have a good tire (ie., a race tire) you should run it high...like 25PSI. If you have a street compound I would recommend running about 20.

The more pressure you have, the longer you can roll (in theory) due to the reduction in drag. However, you risk locking the tire up (not fun......broke ribs doing it).
I personally will never run anything but a race tire up front anymore. Pirelli supercorsa dragon race compund....super sticky.
