YZF450 Supermoto Tyre pressures

Not really sure of what to run. Currently got 2BAR front and rear (29 PSI)

However, it seems a little un-grippy on the fast corners. Slid the rear out a couple of times yesterday.

Yes, I'm running Maxxis Supermaxx, However, I dont think this is the issue.
Is 29psi hard or soft for Supermoto.

Bike is about 100kg, I'm about 70kg.

Cheers

Have you checked how hot they feel mid ride ? (Probably best to take a quick stop, unless you have an IR thermometer Smile

.)

I'm sure you've seen my dislike of the Maxxis tyres I had previously.

I think thats probably a little hard but I'm no expert. Try and have a read through supermotojunkies or thumeprtalk etc and see whats said on there.

Think I ran 26 front and 29 rear on my DRZ. Definately not over 30 and they had lots of grip and didnt wear too quick.

On the husky and ktm I used to do 24 and 28, and on the drz I used to run 30 both.

Husky and ktm were with mutants and drz with the motard 209s
