BT010s on a Thundercat:
Bridgestone say 36 / 42
Haynes/Yamaha say 32 / 36 for rider without pillion - although I don't know what the standard tyres were on the cat.

Which sounds more sensible?

I used 36/42...well near to that

I actually ran 35/40 but mine were supersoft bridgestones... I suppose its what feels better to you?

When did you have a T-Cat???


Go with the Tyre manufacturer's recommendations. (until you find your own preferred pressures).

Bridgestones

I could swear that when I had my 'Cat ('99) the handbook's figures were 36/42

Yawn! It's wearing a little thin now, don't you think?


Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.

Same here; I run my 010s at 36-42 on my TC, although I am of drought-and-famine-resistant build

Bridgestone sounds more sensible, just 'cause Bridgestone make the tyres.

S'not as though the tyre pressures are set in stone though is it?

beg your pardon, they're 020s, and I'm so not going to admit what pressures they were at until just now.

Ta, all.

go with the tyre manufacturers recommendations, Yamaha's will be for whatever the standard fitment are.
Its no good looking for the needle if you have already lost the thread.

we've got the pressures written on the garage wall, however, as we change bikes the list could grow quite long! We will have to whitewash it and start again!
