900s Ie Tyre Pressures

  1. evening all, as a newby to all things Ducati, and the proud owner of a 99 900 ss ie (apologies to all you carby owners), I'm intrigued to understand what the optimum tyres pressures are.

    I've ran a number of jap/Brit/German bikes running on mostly Bridgestone bt21/23's and Michelin's......and these have always been set at f36/r42 psi.....and have produced great grip, wet or dry.

    Current 900 is fitted with a set of new Pirelli Angel GTs......but I'm getting conflicting advice on pressures......all of it considerably different to the generic 36/42....what's the optimum?
     
  2. 2.2 bar front and 2.4 bar rear. That's the factory settings and I've run them for years without problems, regardless of tyre. Dropped a few psi for track use depending on weather conditions, but they're pretty much on the ball for most of the time.
     
  3. Cheers Nelly - I've been recommended 2.3 and 2.5 so not too far away from your suggestion.
     
  4. hah just had to google that into psi 32 and 34
    just what I run on my ss ie
    wasn't sure what was standard recommendation
    but found that was what worked the best :upyeah:
     
  5. I run mine a few psi softer than that in colder weather.........
     
  6. colder weather ok I admit don't tend to use it over the cold period
    it hurts to much
