Just wondering what PSI you guys use on track days. I was reading a British mag and they were doing a review on tyres and they mentioned that when using your bike on the track you should lower your tyre pressure to 31 on the front and 29 on the rear (cold). Any Suggestions?

Any Suggestions? There is alot to consider on a very hot day.For me 28psi rear will be alright with D208GP

I would suggest 32/32 for those tires.

If you have further problems toss the stock tires. Those stock Dunlops are the worst tires I think I've ever ridden an R1 with :beer
