What PSI...

Should I use? I'm really just doing 2nd gear stuff atm, till i get more control so I can slow it down... THe tire was at 33 PSI, that went everywhere when I wheelied, so now I am at 26, but still the bike wants to lean on me. What should I use? Mind, this is not a pure stunt bike, so 10 PSI isn't practical...

for second gear fast stuff you want higher psi like 36 or so. you only need lower psi for the slow ****...

i use dunlop 207's and 208's and i run between 10-15psi. normally for everyday riding i have 15 psi in it. That seems to be fine when i have passengers or when i'm riding around. I would say 20-25psi shouldn't be a problem at all.

Your problem as it sounds isn't the tire though, the crown of the road is going to cause a lot of that and it's hard to get used to steering and getting away from the pull it does to you. It's easier to do when you have lower tire pressure but can be done with taht insanely high tire pressure that the rest of the sportbike community likes to run.

that sounds like a good plan to stick with. try this and maybe it'll work for you.
