No worries, do you know what they were when u got off track?

Sorry meant to ask what u started with.

Hm shouldn't. The RSV has wheel sensors for the TC correct?

ok this is exactly what happened. i got new tires. when i checked em they mounted em and they were at 50 psi. i asked the tire guy what pressures he said 29 rear 33 front. so i went a few pounds less on each and went out. came back in checked and the rear was 44 so i took it back down to 29. and the front was a pound or 2 high. i adjusted them back down for a few sessions and they started to stay where i wanted em.

:lol if my tire reached 44 I wouldn't be here anymore

I cant open the second image, but what pressure you running on them?
 
#1,338 ·
"Range" doesn't quite do it :lol

Ive had to adjust my tires by the 1/4 of psi at times

Easy kitties, plenty of room in the sand box to play

Front right


Front left


Rear right


Rear left


SC1 front SC2 rear.

Track temp ~140, ambient temp ~95

Really needed SC2 front and SC0 rear. Rear was skating around a lot.

Ran 31.5 hot front and 25 hot rear.

Looking at pics I think I should have bumped the front 1-2 psi I feel... it wasn't loosing grip but wear looks messy.

Rear looks like its got a bit of fast rebound...what is this on your duke?

I didn't have much luck with tire wear in the SC tires. Mine were pretty bad. What helped a bunch after suspension was set, was I ran1 PSI higher hot than recommended. I think those are 32 and 28. I ran 33 and 29. I switched to GPAs and run 34 and 24.

What sucks the third day, The right fork started to leak. Time for a rebuild I guess. My zip tie marker was looking like I was bottoming out the suspension in front. So I am getting faster.


Dan you have a PM.
