Morning all,
Looking for a little advice please.
I have a trackday booked at Castle Combe next week (first one on a bike) and was wondering how to set tyre pressues for the track.
I understand that is is usual to drop the pressures a few PSI...but how much?
For reference, the bike is a standard Mk1 with new Michelin Road 5 tyres. I weigh 72kg in full riding gear.
I'm interested in other peoples experiences of taking their CBFs on track, and what pressures they ran. Particularly if running Road 5s.
Reading a few articles on the subject, the advice seems to range from using 30psi as a starting point, to dropping a couple of psi from the standard 36/42. I'm aware that I'm quite a light rider, but the CBF is quite a heavy bike...so I'm a little confused. Would I even notice much difference as a new to track rider?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Also I should add that I'm not expecting to be fast!
Cheers
