I would check my manual but I'm out of town right now and didn't bring the manual with me. So what's the correct tire pressure?
it's not on a sticker on the swing arm? i know there was one on mine... maybe you or a previous owner peeled it off. either way, i peeled mine off too (as i don't have stock tire sizes), so i can't help ya, sorry.
its 33 up front, and 36 single 41 for doubles on the rear.
i set the rear at 38 for inbetween.
My 89' has a sticker under the seat on the rear fender.

The VIN plate on the frame by the steering head has the numbers 33psi for the front and 41 for the rear, but depending on the tire you have on go with the manufacturer's suggested psi for that tire. Check the tire manufacturer's website. Metzeler suggests for it's Me330 and Me550 in 110/80 and 130/80 sizes, 33 psi in front and 36 in the rear. I just had a pair of BT-45's put on and am running a 110/80 front with 33psi and 130/70 rear with 36.5psi (if you have a dial guage with 1 psi increments :mrgreen: ).
Is there an ideal tire pressure for track day? or should it just be the same that is recommended for regular street riding? :thumb:

Less than street riding. IIRC, I was using 29psi cold front and rear.
Track days depend on the temp. Use a little more pressure in the front than the rear, one a warm day its 31 front 29 rear
