Pirelli Diablo tire pressure? - Tires

This 96 has almost new Pirelli tires and was wondering what pressure to run
I'm about 180#

Thanks
Chris

I ran 36/42 in my Diablos, now toast. Q2s should be here on Friday.

I know my pirelli diablos say on both tires to have 42psi cold.  So 42/42, I just checked mine two nights ago.

Pretty much everything I hear and have read states that it should be 36/42 front/rear for the street. 42 in the front sounds a bit high.

i run 38 front on mine but im a bigger guy.38 feels better then 36 as it feels a little low.

The psi numbers on the side of any tire are MAX PSI, NOT Recommended psi!!!!!!!!!
ALWAYS start with the bikes Manufacture recommended pressures (36/42 most VFR's) and adjust to taste if needed.

36/42 is the most common recommendations for most bikes, but not all. :rolleyes:
