ZX12R Track pressures

There is probably a thread on this already, but.....What pressures do you guys think is the best for the track on a 12. Im heading to Oran Park tomorrow, and was thinking 35's cold front n rear??

i usually run 32's on a thou, but its a much heavier bike

any ideas

I run 32 front cold and 33 rear cold at the track, seems to work good, this with Michelin street tyres, powers and road's.

ohh yeah, make sure your first session you warm tyres up for a couple of laps before fanging it :shock: and a lap for the remaining sessions :shock:
