I didn't realize the S22 came out in January 2019, I guess because my 2021 BMW came with S21's, I felt like the S22 was a brand new update when I put it on a year ago. Bridgestone released so much technical information when updating from 21 to 22, hope they do the same for 22 to 23.
If S23 is coming in 2024, what will be the proper psi for the weight of a Hayabusa. For example I use 120/70/17, 32 psi front and 200/50/17, 34 psi rear,with the new Battlax, which will be the recommended pressure.
