I recently bought a 2000 katana 600 and have put about 500 or so miles on it. I have change chain and sprocket, oil, brake pads, and so on. But one thing I forgot to check this whole time I have been riding it is the tire pressure
. I have been reading alot about it lately on the forums and I am going on a 400 mile trip tomorrow so I though I would check it tonight. I am running pilot's front and back. Front should be max 42psi, it was 19psi. Back should be max 41psi, it was 18psi
. I had to double check these readings with a different gauge, I could not beleive it. I run more pressure in my bicycle tires, I am not sure how the tire just did not roll off of it's bead. The bike felt like it was cornering fine (this is my first bike so I have nothing to compare to). I bet this thing handles way better in the morning
. I am almost afraid to go anywhere near the max so for now I am running 36psi in both front and rear. Has anyone here (that is willing to admit it) ever found that they were riding on this low of pressure?
