Everyone gives you a different answer to this one, it's very frustrating. On the road, I would run 34 upfront and 36 on the rear.

On the track, the opinions are very different but if you run them too low, i.e. 28 you get the low-pressure warning light coming on.

 

For the road. Run them at the pressures you ran your last bike at. I honestly can't tell the difference when I piss about with pressures on the road unless they're too low. If you ride in a part of the country where there's a car slowing you down after every corner, just pump the fuckers up. If you ride in a part of the country where there's very little other traffic and you ride like a loon using all of the tyre. Run them at the pressures you ran your last bike at.

For the track. Speak with the tyre guy on site. Ask him what hot pressure you need to be at then go from there. Don't worry about a dash light, worry about having the correct pressure on track.

 

38R 34F works for me on most bikes and most sports or sports touring tyres for the road. I've experimented and a couple of PSI either way does make a difference. 38/34 seem to be the sweet spot for me.

 

I usually run sc corsa on the road at 31 f and 28 rear
So my usual pressures I doubt will work on the s22 hence me asking
Cheers

 

28 rear sounds "unusually" low. What bike were you riding before? Book pressures are 36/42....who suggested 28?

 

Only with a pillion. 36/36 on yer tod.

 

The End.

 

Not quite.....my 36/42 was referring to road riding, not track. Ref 990Glen: I was surprised by your 36/36, so had a look in my manual. It says "solo/with passenger/fully loaded: 36/42."

My track days I've just reduced them "a bit" - 32/36 or thereabouts, which I accept is guesswork but felt OK. I'm not aiming for lap records, just to enjoy myself. And I do.

 

My manual says solo 36/36

 

Interesting - is yours an R or GT, and what year?

 

R
2021

 

Ah. My GT might be different.

 

Dave Moss Tuning has some videos about how to set your tyre pressures on your bike, as does Bennetts Bike Social.

Basically pointless asking on a forum like this, due to all the variables, you need to put in the hard yards and work it out yourself. Same for your suspension, trial and error plus compromise.

 

I run 36 rear and 33 front on the gen3 with those tyres, works good for the road although like Charlie says i honestly cannot tell the difference between fucking about with a few psi.

I'm also probably pushing my luck for the road but i cant help but roll on the edge of the tyre, its where the fun is.

 

So I’ve got my sc corsa tyres on . Bike keeps throwing warning due to rear tyre pressure too low .
How can I get it off my dash guys ????

I’m running 29 cold ( was getting to 34 when running on a not so warm evening)

When i do track days Noste i get the pressure warning light signal, but its not a problem, on the road i run 34f 36r and no warnings, i run this pressure on both S22s and now Conti sport attack 4s. You can get the dealer/ktm work shop to turn off the pressure warning system if you want it gone. But personally i think your running your road tire pressures too low, but your on very sticky rubber that needs heat to work, and not necessarily the best tire for road riding varying conditions. on the track im 30f 28r conti or s22.

 

You're over thinking this, you're not Valentino Rossi, just pump them up a bit and forget about the warning light.

 

For road tyres, it's best to run on the TYRE manufacturer's recommendations. They've already done the testing for you (even when you think they're expanding too much due to heat). This is if you're an average person. If you're a lot heavier or lighter, you can go down or up a couple of PSI to suit your weight. Then +/- 1 psi for every 5 degC ambient temp (measured when cold) above or below 24 degC.

 

I find manufacturer's 41/36 pressures for the Conti RAs (and most tyres TBH) are too high. They feel wooden and sketchy, whatever the temperature. Drop them a fraction to 38/34 and the ride improves and I can feel them bite the road.
If I get impatient and shoot out on the bike without checking the pressures and they're too low, I can tell, especially the front. 1.5-2 PSI is very noticeable and the steering feels slower.
Maybe it helps having analogue suspension that isn't constantly changing it's parameters (and frequently riding familiar roads where I know what to expect from the bike) but I don't get it when people say they can't tell the difference between pressures.
