Hi all, a bit of advice would be welcome here. Just got rid of SMs and replaced with K70s.Can anyone advise me on the best tyre pressures for these on a 350 bullet?

Very subjective, what suits one rider won't suit another. My Bullet has K70's and I keep to about 34 in the rear and 26 in the front. But then I am built like the proverbial brick ****house. I have similar pressures in my Triumph running on Contimentals (sic).

I too run them at 28lb Front and 32lb Rear. Seems to be a little less "flex" across the tyre. If the pressure drops slightly, very noticeable on the K70 rear on my one I noted. I also check the pressures every month, like this morning in fact, and had dropped slightly.
Also, a long shot, but having spent the last week, imbibing in the Gtr. Manchester area, was you the chap I spoke to on the 350 in Stockport on Sunday lunchtime? Whoever it was, it was making a lovely sound thumping around the town centre!

Thanks guys, I appreciate your advice. I just had them changed and inflated to the "correct" pressure, when I got home and checked them and they were 16 front, 22 rear which felt way too soft.Yes Bullet Train that was me in Stockport, we spoke by the market, thanks for your comments.

Small world indeed! Nice to have unknowingly met like that. Real Ale and pub bashing was on the "agenda" for my week there. And @ £32 return, Maidstone to Manchester. I dont think my Bullet could have beaten that! I'll be in Liverpool in November, same price, same agenda, which, alas, is why my Bullet doesen't see much action at weekends. Keep it up. BT.

Ian,you don't say what size,but the 3-25x19 run 18/23 solo.Would have thought that the higher pressures mentioned,you would bounce down the road,also reducing road contact.
