Yer I know guys that fly around like little rocket men may need to be a bit more exact as far as preasure goes..

but....
The Manual recommends around
36 psi front
42 psi rear

So that's what I use ... give or take 1-2 lbs ..
persona;;y... as long as it feels ok riding her ...I do not even bother checking them ..

After 2,345 years on the road , you get to know the feel pretty well ;)

I run mine at 33 front and 35 rear. It just feels better to me with less pressure.

Around 42 each for every day riding (I take my gf with a lot so extra pressure in the tires is good). ~35 each if I'm hitting the twisties by myself.

Start with 36F/42R and tweak it for your weight and tire combo. I like 34/42 myself, Pilot Powers.

if ur just riding around on the streets, 36 front and 42 rear (measured cold), r good. if you're in the canyon start at about 31-32 front and about 34-36 in the rear. if u go back n forth betweencanyon and city streets it'sgood to keep the pressure adjusted to the right PSI, it will help your tires last longer, i had a set of Battle AX 015 andkeep them @ like 32/34 and theywere like completely worn at the 5k mile mark, properly adjusting thePSI, igot a set of corsa 3 to about 8k.

CBRclassic, do they use PSI in Australia? I figured it was an SI unit that you used?
