Do you happen to look like this whilst the "sliding" occurs?

This will also happen when going around a corner with a decent lean angle and the back tire goes over tar snakes. I can feel my back tire slide every time it hits a tar snake in a corner.
Are you sure that's "recommended" and not "maximum"? Got a link for your source?A quick Google search shows that for your bike, the Honda recommended tire pressure is 36 PSI front and 42 PSI rear.
if your wheels are cold... Don't take turns sharply... Your wheel will slip out from under you...

My 2 cents are that it's the suspension and not the tire slipping at all.
toysareforboys;1781237 Also make sure your suspension is set correctly. Look at some youtube videos on setting sag/preload and/or take it to a professional. A properly setup suspension REALLY make the bike feel planted over bumps in the corners. -Jamie M.[/QUOTE said:This ^^^^^^^^^^^^
+1. Check your tire pressures. Contact the manufacture directly for what they recommend for tire pressure.
Everyone on here will give you different numbers ..
and this^^^^^^^^. Ignore anyone on here quoting tire pressure numbers to you. As the boi says, consult your TIRE manufacturer. All tires are different.
And asking is always cheaper than crashing.

That's the recommended PSI Honda gave for my 2002 F4i and is still the same for my 2011 600RR. It's in the manual.
Why would he consult the tire manufacturer?Besides the good sound mechanical advice offered here (nuts, bolts, fluids etc)

Bike tire pressures are recommended by the bike manufacturer for that specific bike, not by the tire manufacturer.
Hmmm. Downloading 2011 600RR manual now...That's the recommended PSI Honda gave for my 2002 F4i and is still the same for my 2011 600RR. It's in the manual.
Do you still have the same tire that came as OEM??(probably not)
If you don't, manual information is not relevant.
The TIRE manufacturer will also have much different pressure recommendations for their tires than the BIKE manufacturers do.
This has been proven on a number of occasions.
