rickrad Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 42 front & rear but it depends on the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Krypt Keeper Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 If I am going to be riding the slab for anytime I will bump it up to 40F and 42R If I plain on throwing her around on the corners and backroads I run 36F and 38R I forgot to air my tires up this past weekend and rode 360 miles mostly on the slab and my rear paid the price :roll: :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Keeper, When you said your rear paid the price, I assume you mean that it got hot and wore a hell of alot faster? not got too hot and blew out right?

demon Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I usually run 38 in the rear and 40 in the front. If I'm slabbing it I'll up both front and rear 2 psi to 40 rear and 42 front. I'm running the 45/46 avon combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 the slab took its toll on my tires life span :sad: by making the center of my tire flatter than a pancake. I bet my bike can sit up straight without the help of the centerstand or sidestand I only can blame myself.. running incorrect air pressure and 85-100 mph for a long period of time. (keeping up with traffic if you believe that) :shock: I was going down the slab at 100mph look over and theirs a F150 just cruising along with me :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I am running a 46 ST rear and a 49 SP front Was going to order a 50 SP for the rear this time, but think I will just keep this combo for now. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
