Tyre pressures

[100milesaway]

Those of you running Michelin Pilot road 3s. Do you run at bike  manufacturer recommended pressures ie 42/42!!!!!! Or do michelin specify there own?

[viper]

ive run all my tyres at 42/42 regardless of brand, seems to work just fine

[Mogster]

although I muck about with pressures on the Tuono depending on the tempature... I have been lead to belive that 42/42 is kinda set in stone for the GTR ...stray from these at your peril....

42/42 is and always has been good for me 

[mecki]

I found 300/300 to be best since pounds and inches don't mean anything to me.

42 front and rear everytime. Anything lower and the bike feels heavy and cumbersome.

Mine had dropped to about 39 recently due to laziness on my part... but topped them back up to 42 yesterday and it felt so much better.

[Lonewolf]

It's important to note that you inflate to 42 psi which means they'll be running at about 44-45 psi. 

[Rusty]

Good note .. especially when riding in this hot weather ... but 42/42/ is what I pump to 

[viper]

all manufacturers inc kawasaki state cold tyre pressures when giving their reccomendations so they have allowed for 42 to increase to 44 . Ive never noticed my tyre sensors show more than 2 psi increase , even when ambient temps have been 25c+

On the PR3 I've run as low as 39/39 without issues

This is for when I want more grip in winter

OK the new bladders are on, and they had better be good after the way you lot have been banging on about them. The Michelins have replaced a pair of Dunlop Pilot road 2s, which were still legal regarding tread depth, but had deformed badly which made the bike feel awful. Mileage for the Dunlops 4250, mileage for original Bridgestones 5000. So lets see what the Michelins can do

Interesting Mr Viper .. in the deepest of winter my TP's show, when leaving the garage at 39/40 ish or there abouts ... so often lower ...and don't change for the trip to London or home .. I just put that down to cold weather, cold rain in contact with said rubber and freezing tarmac... but the PR3's are always a good ride.

i find the same when its cold , in hot weather it does rise , but never more than 1 to 2 psi, all given pressures are always cold, cars ,van, trucks , hell even the sex doll is filled when cold

So seriously,
                   I pick up my GTR tomorrow on a 09 plate, first time I have ever owned a Kawasaki.

                  I have been looking at this site now for a week or so and have noticed you writing about this tyre sensor. How does that work then on the dash ?
