I love my Michelin PR3s...

Keep in mind peoples, that if you are putting on 42 psi front and rear because "the manufacturer said to" then you should be running the OEM Bridgestone tyres that were originally fitted to the bike!  Other than that? You need to find the sweet spot on your Michelins, Pirellis or Dunlops yourself as they are a totally different kettle of fish. Even then,  Honda would have used a carefully calibrated air gauge,  so be careful out there villains.

What are you running in your's Diesel?

I run 42/44 by MY GAUGE. This could equate to different numbers on your gauge, but the PR3/PR4 GT combo at these pressures feel great.

Beatup might vouch for their handling performance. ;-)

However, I'm convinced it's my riding style that had greatest effect. I'm a bank manager's son at heart & therefore a tight-fisted w***er through 'n through... I rarely fang it through the corners, always gentle on the throttle, & stick to the speed limits. I also never go 2-up.

Of course, it might be that I'm just lucky - hopefully I'll get the same or better from the PR4s.

If you get that amount of km out of a set of tyres because you are gentle on the throttle, and stick to the speed limits
I would be interested to know what average and best fuel economy you can achieve riding like that 

[BigTed]

I'm getting between 18 & 19 km/lit based on my fuel log (not the gauge)...

Ps. That's mostly suburbs to city freeway commuting in Perth of about 30km each way.

My average consumption is 18.37 Ks/L for the year to date, best was 19.42...  Some gentle riding and some not so... all on 91 Octane..

  Thanks thats very technical the way you record your fuel usage
I just check every now and then when I'm doing a bigger rides

For those that may want to keep an eye on their fuel usage, I have posted a link below.

The page with the date (2015) is for entering fill data, Fuel 2015 will give you all the stats. To start put current odo reading in the first Kms cell on the Fuel 2015 page, and start with a full tank.  enter the next fill on the 2015 page, and the fun starts.

Any problems let me know and i will fix it. I have been using this spread sheet for years.

I still use a spreadsheet out of habit, I also use the www.fuelly.com site but since Jan this year I've been using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sweypro.driverdiary&hl=en on both Samsung Tabs (one each for car and bike). This is the free app but there is a "pro" that you gives you more features if you wish to buy it.
