I just replaced the tires on my Uly with the Pirelli Scorpions, what is the recommend tire pressure? I'm taking a long trip next month and will be loaded down.

I ran my trails with about 48-50PSI cold, they will jump up to low to mid 50s when warm according to my tire pressure monitoring system. They are happy with that, great mileage (got over 12k on a set, pulled them with tread remaining), fuel economy (54mpg on my 1125R), and traction. I drop it down to high 30's hot when I know I am going to be in the twisties all day.

I ran Scorpions at Buell's recommended pressure, 36 rear, 34 front. Great performance and over 12k rear tire life to the wear bars. At a trackday, I lowered the rear to 34 and did not change the front pressure.

Scorpion Sync Info from Pirelli


Based on an email correspondence I had with Pirelli a few years back, I run 36F and 40R.
