I know the 2ct tire has been out for a while. does anyone know what the correct tire pressure is? | ||

JUST fyi i just got an e-mail saying "Our supplier just informed us that we cannot send that front tire that you ordered due to it being recalled" (from sandhillspowersports.com) sooo you might want to look into that before you go out riding again. | ||

36/32 is what I run in mine. So far my recalled front has survived some REALLY hard riding. | ||

My tires are not the recalled ones. You can check on the web sight to find the production number range the was recalled. 12r how do you convert bars to psi? | ||

1 bar is approx 14.50378 psi | ||

I ran 32/32 at a track day on my 2CT's a couple weeks ago after starting at 30/30. In those conditions (75 degrees, sunny), 32/32 seemed to grip better, and measured about 10 deg hotter after each session than 30/30. | ||

Btw, on the tire pressure split front to rear, I spent a few minutes tossing this around in my head, with some experimentation at track days. This is what I came up with; let me know what you guys think. Slaughter, I'm looking at you. You must counter steer to initate the turn (this is common knowledge). If you are running a higher slip angle on the front tire than the rear (~ lower front pressure), you will have to turn the handlebars from counter steering to "steering in" to the corner somewhere during turn in. However, if you run a higher slip angle on the rear tire (~ lower rear tire pressure), you will initiate the turn via counter steering and remain counter steering through the whole corner. To me, I have the most confidence with option number 2; I don't like the vague feeling of zero steer mid turn in. And, theoretically (gotta love that term), if you run equal slip angles mid-corner, you are at zero steer angle mid-corner and could take your hands off the bars. Has anybody else thought about this, or noticed it? Maybe try it at the next track day and see what you think. It makes sense to me, but maybe I'm convincing myself of my own theory. |
