    great tyre mate, all of the production 250/300 series here is Perth and most of the other states are racing on them, i find them a nice sticky tyre.

    Quick thoughts on tyre pressure, been getting some all over the shop info on the net.
    Last thread on here I remember someone saying 38-42.
    Is that still the case for the cibby.

    Start with that and experiment a little ..... a PSI or 2 either way can make a noticable change in the handling and the bumps .... every bike is different and every rider is different

    I ended up trying 32-34 this morning. I weight 70kg, feels like a much larger patch is in contact with the ground.
    But I am too noob to know if it needs to go up or down from here haha.
    Just as long as nothing major can go wrong with that setting im happy.

    Current set on is 110/70 and 140/70. Pretty sure cbr's stock tyres are meant to be 110/70 140/60 iirc.
