Bridgestone has their recommendations. Pirelli has theirs. Since you are running the latter, I would say go with their recommendations on tire pressure over what Suzuki would say about a different brand tire.

For example, my manual says 36/36 and 36/42 for 2up. I run 30/30 at the track and 30-32 if I know I'll be hitting twisties. Normal street riding I use 36/36. I'll have to see what changes when I put on the corsa III's... can't wait.

ok I'll look into but if you check Bridgestones site,I bet they don't recommend 42 lbs at the rear either. Unless you can pull a chart for my exact bike,my weight and height,and my riding style/conditions. I'm not sure what good it'll do BUT I honestly appreciate you input. It's just that this is the third GSXR1000 I've owned(since the '01) and I've always run my tires this way. It's what I'm used to. I set my suspension up for it,had to change alittle for the Pirellis,I don't know if I can change now. |

Here is what I DO know... recommendations are just that. Something that worked for a plethora of people, but might not work for every individual. They are powerful suggestions. That being said, I wouldn't venture too far out of that range as then it becomes a safety issue (exploding tires are BAAAD). I was talking with my suspension guy. He tweaked my suspension for my weight and size... I HATED it. I have been used to riding bikes sprung for 200+ pound men, I'm obviously NOT that. But, I have adapted my riding style to fit the machine. Now, I'm re-learning how to ride with a bike fitted to ME. I'm giving it a shot, and if it is too much of teh suck I'll put it back the way it was.  So, I know exactly what you mean.
