New tyre Time

[darrsi]

For your info. the tyre pressure recommended by Metzler for the M9RRs on the Fazer 600 is: Front 2.35 BAR - Rear 2.80 BAR

That's 34F & 40R for people like me who still only use PSI

Great thanks both.
Back is 40 front is 38
Will lower the front.
Would it make a difference as I am 10.5 stone - 11 stone after a Sunday dinner

Apparently not, I'm 13 stone

Saying that, haven't you got luggage though, and sometimes a passenger?
Unlike Fazersharp who just has himself to carry on top.

When I was doing the reashearch on them I remember read5that some people run them a bit lower.
The old m7 was 40 and 36
I got it wrong earlier when I said I have the new front at 38, its 36 same as the old.

Yes for me I dont carry passengers or a top box I don't even take a rucksack out most of the time, and not even a full tank of petrol as I just put in enough for a ride and use it.
Thinking of lowering the back a bit, to 38 what do people think,
But won't be going anywhere if I snap the front brake bleed nipple

I use 36F 40R but I'm a lot heavier than you, and have a large top box that's always at least half full of stuff all the time.
Recommended solo pressures are actually 33F 36R, but it's a very personal thing, and whatever floats your boat really?
As you are so light with no extra added weight I would avoid higher pressures though if I was you as the grip wouldn't be as good if pumped up too much with no weight to balance things out.

Thanks I will give 33/36 try

Yes. 1600miles two up and luggage through Pyrennes, Andorra and Central France (No toll roads) and never had any issue with the tyres. The recommended rear tyre pressure is higher than the norm. Most standard rear tyre pressures are 2.5bar for one and 2.9bar for full load, but the M9RR is 2.8 all round

[fazersharp]

Google
2.5bar = 36psi
2.9bar = 42psi

2.8 =40psi

I always rode my Fazer 33f 36 rear as recommended by Bridgestone for fast road riding, still do now on the striple, 31f 28r on the track

Seems like I have been running my old M7rr's a bit too high. At 40R/ 36F

Yes, but I dont think on the roads 2psi is going to make a lot of difference. Here in Ireland particularly when you are playing "Dodge the Pothole"

It will be interesting to see what you think of the feel of these tyres compared to other tyres you have used.
