    2.00 bar (29 PSI) on the front and 2.25 - 2.50 bar (32 - 36 PSI) on the back as per specifications on the swingarm label on mine. Sometimes it helps to increase or decrease +- 1 PSI based on personal preference for feel and feedback.

    I ran my old dunlop arrowmax's at 30/31 front and 33/34 rear.
    Just got some new sport demons so haven't sorted them yet, wasp interesting to hear what you ran so might have to try them a bit higher.

    110/70 front and 150/60 rear, Dunlop GPR100s. I'm alot lighter than you though - makes a load of difference. Scuse the pun
