i have bt20s on my bike 120/70ZR17 on the front and 18/55ZR17 on the back.

I run 36 in the front and 42 in the back.

you'll need to experiment to be honest to see what suits you - especially if your tyre sizes are different.

these are of course tubeless.

ChrisU, thats interesting matey......

I run 33 front and 36 rear :shock: :shock: :shock:

They're Bridgestones Battalax's :!:

I set them about the same as stated for an old Gixxer :?:

Must admit my bike does do a slow weave at 30 mph, but I thought that was the 4" JMC & short USD forks :??

Mat give 35 - 40 a go :wink:
