: Do tyre pressures affect front wheel lift ?

I have an 06 R6 and in a straight line it wants to lift its front wheel at times under hard acceleration. I know this is normal but was wondering if there is any connection with tyre pressures and if you can reduce this by adjusting the pressures.

Currently riding with 35 psi front and back.

As far as i know, adjusting your tire pressures wont stop it... but releasing throttle pressure will :lol:

The best way to keep it down is to try to position as much body weight as possible over the front end. McDonalds offer a great mod for that!! :tongue8:

Thanks - tucking into a cholestorol special as I type this. I fear this mod may have implication on my 0-60 time. :lol:
