for those of you running ND's, was wondering what air presssure your running---rear (180/60/17) tires says 50psi cold....

 

I don't have the answer you are looking for but I would run the factory recommended psi until someone says other wise. The psi on the side wall is the MAX psi.

How far off is your speedo and did the smaller diameter of this tire effect the acceleration of your bike? I am thinking of going to it on the next tire change. Thanks

 

I've been runnin' with 40 cold psi up front and 45 cold psi on the rear riding solo....it's been working well for me.

I've put about 5500 miles on 'em and both tires are in good shape.

BTW, the Pirelli ND tires have a bit taller profile than the stock Dunlops....

 

Ok, so what effect did it have on the bike anything that noticable?

 

The taller tires raised the height slightly....maybe 1/4" to 1/2" and increased lean angle by the same amount.

They are great tires...I'll most likely purchase them again.

 

Appreciate the responses .I think I wil run mine 40 front, 45 rear. Haven't ran it much since swapping out tires, so can't tel you if made difference with

 

The speedometer (sorry about the double posting trying to type with smart phone is a pain sometimes)

 

I don't think it made any difference with the speedo...I use a tach and the rpm's seem to be at the same mph as with the stock Dunlops.

 

Doesn't it list the inflate psi on the sidewall of the tire? I'd go with the manufacturers recommended psi.

 

It does....50 psi max,
