Got my first trackday on the KTM at the end of the month. Got a stack of slicks from the last SV track toy so I may as well use them since i've got warmers as well.

What sort of pressure have people been running on motards with slicks and tubes?
Going for a blat on the road with my BT016's i'm running about 26 front and 27-28 rear.
On the old SV i'd run the slicks at about 28 front and rear, but the motard is significantly lighter...

Ideas?

Oh, FYI the tyres are Pirelli superbike SC1 compound.

i use just under 30 hot with metzeler slicks and they work awesum,

i got told to drop them to 22 rear and 28 front,
tried 26 rear and they just chewed up a bit, so they went back to around 29 hot

good luck mate, you will love slicks ay.
i found they work real mint, especially with tyre warmers
