What profile boots for my R6?

Well im getting some new boots fitted to the R6 soon, and I've been wondering what the best profile to go with is?

I believe it is a 60 section on the front. I have also been told, or have read somewhere, that if I place a 70 section profile tyre onto the front of the bike, that the turn-in and cornering speed will improve!

Have any of you had any experience of this?

What are you putting boots on your bike for?

A higher profile front will increase corner speed and turn it, but will also make it twitchier, less stable, and more prone to a tankslapper.

Doesn't it turn in quick enough as it is?

Hi

Think it is the other way round. Putting a higher profile tyre on would raise the front of the bike a touch, and probably make it more stable

All the best

But the sharper profile means that its more eager to tip in.
