SV650 tire pressure?

what air pressure should i run on a SV650S for the novice group? tire would be bridgestones BT016.

 

30/30 cold is a good, generic starting point.

 

agreed and check them once you get back in the pit and adjust them if they are too high

 

too high being over?

 

At 30 cold, a tire should be about 34psi hot. For best results, call a bridgestone tire vendor like stickboy racing or Mize Mobile. Granted the two guys I mentioned primarily deal in race tires, but they should have brand specific info.

 

Yes

if you start out at 30 cold and you come in and they are 38 hot, that is too high of pressure and they will start to slide on you. Granted it will have to be a hot day or you riding the tire pretty hard but it happens.

I did it at summit JC it was very cool in the morning and i didn't keep up on them, by the afternoon sessions when i checked them i was around 37 psi and sliding through turn 1 like no ones business.

Now i check them every other session just about

 

Hey Lance, Mize Motors is about 2 miles from my house! I've stopped in to see him, but only ran into his lackies

 

ok thanks for the info everyone. that will help big time.
