Im just wonder what will be the best pressure for track riding and normal street riding. Care to share some info guys.. thanksi'll share, first off what tyres do you run? this matters as each tyre is different
plus what bike do you have?

my pressure is as follows:

pilot power race tyres track 32 front 23 rear street with same tyres 32 front
25 rear
pilot power road 33 front 35 rear on the street
metzler race tech 34 front 30 rear on the street
pirelli diablo road 33 front 36 rear on the street
these are all the tyres i have used i only use pilot race tyres on the track all others are street/canyon roads.

hopfully this helps.
these pressures are also done with suspension set-up.:D

currently im using bridgestone 014 front and 010 rear...anyone with the experience using the bridgestone :D and btw im using fireblade model 95.i did use the bt014 for a bit after i put my 929 back together for the second time. i ran 33front 35rear and didn't like the squirm i got from the rear i went up and down on the pressure but couldn't find a happy zone to run in so i pitched them for sporttecs.....yikes! better feed back but slippery. i was afraid to lean on them. i pitched these for diablo tyres.......sooooooooooo much better when these ran out i went for the pilot race......well.......i am hooked. great feed back good warm up and good life.try a set of race take-offs[if you can find them] you will most likely never run another tyre. i am not sure if they make a tyre for the 16 inch wheel though. also every tyre needs a different suspension setting to make the most of them so don't froget about this.:D

It depends. When I'm slabbing it, 38 front and 42 rear. When in the twisties, maybe 32 front and 36-38 rear.

dude the front needs to be a bit higher than that otherwise the front will push the rear is fine as the 900's heat the rear like the devil himself is sitting on the tyre. i have had this happen more than once while playing with tyre pressure that is why i run nothing less than 30 psi in the front. try it next time you will feel more feedback and the tyre won't "rip" the tread off it.:D
