Current ride: Buell X1 2001
Hi all,

Went with the Pirelli Diablos in the end, and great tyres they are, question is what pressures are best for them? I know what the manual says, but that is for stock tyres in 2001, is there an optimal pressure for sub 80-90mph blasting.

They feel a bit squirmy in the dry until they have warmed up , but feel suberb once warmed up. They love this weather.....

Always best to check the tyre manufacturers website for bike specific pressures.......most alternative tyres need higher pressures on an X1 than the original dunlops
