All tire pressure are advertised at the international standard 20C temperature. You gain or lose about 1.5 PSI for each 5C change in temperature. So if the bike says styrene should be 40PSI then that’s at 20C ambien. So 0C ambient is -20C from that point,which is 4x1.5psi or minus 6psi, so going 6-8psi lower than the 20C setpressure is actuallykeeping the pressure correct !

Wow, I'll keep that wonderful explanation under my bonnet whilst tucked behind my windscreen. All I know is that I thought my new Ninja rode rather harshly and reduced my tyre pressure to match my Honda FT500's 24/28. Not good, I got some serious "head shake" and returned to the Kaw recommendation of 28/32.
Excuse me while I go polish my spanners.

P.S.; I'm still pissed that you burned-down out White House.
