Besides, it is the warm tires that allow you to drag the pegs in the twisties as your passing all the sport bikes. Haha. By the way, I hope that you are not running 28psi in the front tire as well. I would keep it between 19-21psi." It depends on the tire. The stock tires seem to like 21 in front. I've prematurely worn out several sets of the Maxxis 6006s by not running enough pressure. They seem to handle just as well and last a lot longer with less cupping at about 30.
