Critique my plan…

I am not trying to overthink this. But i am still trying to wrap my head around a few new concepts.

FWIW:
Intermediate group
Track bike: 2005 sv650 with OEM forks (springs/fluid for track days) and penske shock
Tires: SC1 front and rear

My plan for the morning at Pitt this weekend is to set my pressures on the lower end of Pirelli’s pressure chart. Off the warmers: 30 front, 26 rear. Outside air temp should be around 60. So, kind of on the cold-side for slicks? My plan is to work on smooth braking and throttle (to make sure i maintain heat in the tires), and ease into the lean angle/corner speed, gradually. Obviously, my plan will likely go down the drain and i’ll be making adjustments on the fly.

BUT is this the right way of thinking?

Tim is correct, always set pressure to recommended off warmers, at 60
Degrees if you go out at a mid pack I pace you shouldn't see much if any pressure drop. If you do they will flex more and make heat and pressure comes up.

30 in the front is way too low. It was barely 50 degrees on this day back in October. Run your usual pressures and send it. Backmarker's recommendation at 36/26 is where you want to be.

Holy crap.. 10-4
