Hey,
Does anyone run the Pirelli SC1/SC2 Supercorsa's on their Pro Twin bike?
For the national series in Canada the Pirelli is a spec tire.
In four races I've spent around NZ$1,500 with the suspension tec's at the track (Yes I know, you guys have it really good getting free advice of Mr Taylor) getting my bike to handle decent with Dunlops for our regional championship and am unfortunately struggling with the Pirelli's.
In switching I make the adjustments for ride height (circumfrence of tires X pi / 2 then the difference in hieght).
I heat the Pirelli's to 76C, set the pressures to 32psi F and 28psi R, then head out (as recommended by the Pirelli tec's).
Pressures coming in are around 33C F and 30.5 R and the temp via the pyrometer is around 41C f and 38C R in the centre of the tire (all good according to the Pirelli tec's)
Ambient temperature is around 27-31C.
The problem is a squishy feeling in the front that makes me nervous + ripping through tires. I've kind of combatted this via adding more pressure..... The rear end slides under aggresive power.
The suspension changes I've made to combat this is:
reduce oil level in front forks (emulated dampener rods at present) and increase pre load 2mm to raise the working part of the suspension out of the poor progression area.
With the rear I've reduced the compression and increased the pre-load (to soften and lift out of poor progression area).
All I'm wanting to know is:
Is there anyone who has had racing success with the super corsa's on a SV?
If so, what are the tire pressures and temp going out/in?
Do you know how you set up compares to the setting for Dunlop 209's?
What way do you adjust the pressure's for changes in temperature?
Anything else you've noted?
Cheers and thanks for your help in advance!!
