Hello from Arkansas!
My husband bought my 2006 Ninja around March 2010 for me. I took the MSF course in April 2010 and afterwards, happily trotted my rear end to the Arkansas Hwy Dept. I'm excited to say I have my endorsement and have over 1000 miles of saddle time since then. Now I'm looking for info to know my bike better and get tips from the ancients.
I run the stock Dunlops at 28/32 and I don't feel comfortable with tight curves or twisties. I upped my pressure to 30/34 and I feel it responds tons better. I have confidence rolling on. Other than saving for new tires am I doing more harm than good running my tires at that pressure? |

They are actually new tires but are the same kind that originally came on the bike. I should have posted better. Sorry! And you are correct. These tires should never been specked with this bike. Road rash waiting to happen!
