Remember, tyre pressure is very critical on how long a tyre lasts!! I know that if I had my 020's pumped right up, I would have worn the centre out in seconds! I run about 2 psi under what they reckon most of the time, depending on conditions. You've got to compromise over wearability to handling. AND, if you running a tyre over an hour or more such as on a trip, the heat exapnds the core temperature thus raising it pressure,....thus wearing out centre fasting, and not much tread on road as first thought!!!!
That's why tyre pressures are dropped for race-track use for who doesn't know. Pressure and suspension rebound are critical. Maybe a few of us could point out the gizmo's of the rear end if you are unsure? I was at the start until I learnt about the Busa's weight transfer under power and read an excellent OHLINS SHOCKER REPORT on how to set-up suspension and handling on the Beast!!
