ZXR250C Tyre Pressure?

[wyatt]

I would recomend you try 30pounds in the f tyre and 30pounds in the back, Then it all depends on where and how hard you ride, but 30/30 is a great starting point,, Thats what ive learned from the Australian superbike school..

Sweet thanks for the tip

I will stick my nose out, but 35/35 hot road riding works best for me... good road feedback and tire rounding.

*flicks your nose* lol

Its interesting to see what different people do with thier bikes... I'm finding that 33/31 is working well with me... it really didn't feel good at 41 lol

indeed it would, I dont ofyen check my tire preasures but before a ride I get the foot pump out and pump them up by using the squeeze method, yet to fail me yet :P

If i want to ride fast I normally check them properly.

I'm too lazy for the foot pump method...

*likes being lazy*

so when are you coming up to Auckland... this guy *hint* advised me to buy an alarm *hint* and said he would install it *hint* but his bike has been broken *hint*

Yeah John is a lazy bugger so don't worry

I have used various different tyre pressures and I found a small increase helped cure corner instability - the bike would randomly start tracking/floating on rare occasions - higher is nicer. Mt Eden MC reccomended 34/36 for me but I find another one or two psi works wonders for the handling.

Depends how hard you a riding it -


When i had my cbr250 i was running around 31/33 ish. Track was 29/31ish depending on weather of course.

Those were Diablo's btw

This thread got me thinking, my bike always gave me a wobble/walking sensation at the back while cornering at speed,

Got out the pressure tester 23 psi

Whacked her up to 36 psi, just need this wind to die down so i can go try her out on coatsville highway.

Me thinks im going to notice an improvement.

Well got some new tyres now... (ok I've had them since 2 weeks before I crashed... but what the hell)

Dunlop SportMax = No PSI markings on the tyres that I can see... I'll try the front at 30psi and the rear at 34psi... will let you know how that goes

As a general guide it's best to buy one of those tyre pressure gaugages which are sold at Repco and Super Cheap for less than $15 and check your tyre pressure once a week.

Especially with small bikes, front tyres lose air more quicker than rear but it's best to check and if need be top up every week. Go to BP they have electronic air pumps which are very accurate and handy. I run my one on 34 36 front and rear.

I read about tyre pressure gauges in consumer magazine before i bought mine.
They recommended the slime-2000/2001 or something, definitely slime anyways. Its a stick/pen type one and they found in tests that it was pretty accurate, and it fits very well in your pocket. Also keeps the reading after you take it off the tire which is helpful.
I went to repco and the guy there reccommended it also, $18 and I'm very happy with it. So would suggest one of these if your looking to purchase one.

What psi for front and back do you use on your bandit?

I've never checked mine, but will when I figure out what it SHOULD be first
