Interesting. I have no history with this manufacturer. What is the current temperature at where you ride? What is the tire pressure currently set at? Have you tried checking the tire when cold, then again after riding it for an hour? If pressure is exactly the same? Take a couple pounds out at a time, until you start to start to see an increase in pressure after having ridden the bike. just sounds like the hard compound in the center of tire not getting any heat into it? I used to ride a lot in all weather. Don't laugh. In wet weather, I actually always did a small burnout. Clean the tire off, a little friction to put some heat on the tire surface. I guess now a days, a person could just use a tire warmer. Anyway just some fuel for thought. That's a very fast bike for sure you got there. Thanks for sharing.
Recommended pressure from suzuki. I had the tire set at a lower pressure in the summer and it felt like a wet noodle. So I set it where suzuki recommended it and left it. I haven't checked it after riding, I guess I should do that. As of.right now I'm riding in 50-60 degree weather, the tire will still spin even after an hour of riding it. Pressure may be to high for the tire but the bike is pretty heavy.. any lower than 35... wet noodle. I appreciate the info.

@@sunsetsportbikes9435 yes i hear the wet noodle part. I wouldn't step below 32. Checking the tire pressure, when everything is good and hot you want to see around 6% in inflation. So around 2 lbs. So if tire is set at 35. you would want to see 37. If tire reads the same pressure. Take a couple pounds out. If your seeing more than a couple of pounds. Put a couple pounds in. Your right. Summer will see a higher pressure. Same goes for the front. Back in the day. When everyone was running Dunlops. I was running Bridgestone Battle axe. When everyone started running Michelins. I was still running Bridgestone Battle Axe. lol I need to feel what the front tire is doing or it saps my confidence. I'm guessing you won't be going with that touring tire choice again. You just have to try as many different types of tires until you find your comfort zone. That's what friends or your local bike shop is for. go do some testing. Thanks for response.
