    Tyre pressure - slicks

    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
    Bring on the weekend
