Savav2v1 Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 Hopefully if i can pass the dreaded noise test I'm hoping to take my fairly (opologies for offending anyone) " standard" katana on track, just for the grin factor Normally most people reduce the psi in their tyres for track use, Mr Suzuki has a sticker on the rear Mudguard recommending you increase your tyre pressure for continuous high speed riding, which way should i go, cheers Quote
TonyGee Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 2 tyres of the same size but of a different make will prefer their own pressure, best thing would be to experiment on track Quote
