Tire pressure

I remember hearing that tricks are easier when lowering your tire pressure. What do you guys keep yours at? F/R

rear around 24-26 psi...ya right, i check it by using my thumb to see how far it pushes in!! but i think it is about that...not too low,unless you're learning 12's and slow stuff, because it will handle like dog doodoo on the twisties....for the front, about 28...a little lower than the street recommended 34 or so, less tire life, but better stoppie grip without sacrificing the kneedragging around the sandy corners!!

just be careful with the low pressure in the rear...the bike will NOT handle in the corners and will tend to wallow when leaned over.......

kick it!

cool!

Thanks for the answers I'll give those numbers a try. Do you guys really notice that it's alot easier to balance on the deflated tire?
