Any idea what pressures to run in the tyres for road use?

Normal road pressures John...... say 32 - 36 psi depending on the temp & the tyres

I always went really low. About 19 or 20 in the front and about the same in the rear. The old tards don't pump the heat into them like sports bikes do.

I run 20 on the front at all times.
Need it soft got generate heat.
20 on the rear at track, and about 24 on the road.
But most of my motarding is hitting twisties.

I agree with Watie, I ran 20/25 front and 25/30 rear.
