Cant find the sticker on the bike that says how many each tyre needs

Was curious if anyone knew as my rear tyre could use a pump

1996 Thundercat

Wouldn't you already have the answer by now if you googled rather than waiting for a response on here?

36F 42R

EDIT: Different from above Laughing

I think this is for high speed riding.

I've got an FZR600R, not thundercat but pretty similar. I always put my rear to 36 and front to 33, that's what it says on the sticker.

36/42 is the default answer. I tend to run a touch under this, but only 1 or 2, mostly on the rear.

36/42 is best by common consensus and I use these figures in mine. Much under this and the back feels off.

Focussed Events told us in a briefing that those were litigation pressures, that the manufacturers have to state by law. ie. you could hold the throttle to the stop on an Autobahn and the tyre wouldn't self destruct; so you couldn't sue them for it.

Makes sense, I run 34/36 in my Daytona, less on track, then go back to the recommended 36/42 if I'm doing some motorway miles - purely in the interests of not squaring them off.

Depends on the bike, its intended use and the tyre Wink Look up an owners forum for more specific advice.
