28 front 32 rear for the 250R specifically, the numbers on the tire are max for the tire on ANY bike.

Yeah, thats the thing, lots of people go by the manual or sticker on the bike... thing is, you change your rubber and that has pretty much no relevance. Also need to take in rider/pillion weight.

I think it depends on how you'll drive if more of a straight or curves
but then again. probably wait for more PRO advice from senior members here..

guys? anybody

you want your presures to depend on how you ride/if theres a pillion.

like XROWDAC said, if you do a LOT of curves you want to drop your pressures slightly for a greater contact patch for grip.

if you commute a lot in straight line. then you want higher tire pressures.

Example: my road bike runs 44 psi rear and 38 psi front. ( a fair bit of straight line riding)

track bike runs 30psi and 30psi.

I have never gone below 36psi on the track on either of my tires, but I follow in the footsteps of a guy with some pretty unconventional methods...

 

[Felix]

On the track I dropped about 10% front and back...

Sticker/manual should be taken into consideration, but in general you need to go by tyre rating and feel. I bike bought in 1980 with 2011 tyres is not going to want to rely on sticker/manual.

Road conditions and rider style play a factor as well. I was running 12/15 psi front and back the other weekend

Hey! Don't confuse the people! That's dirty pressures!
