yo mang...depends on your tires and also what you're running them for, such as street, track, canyons, etc.

for the street, you will want higher pressure. i bump that **** up to like 41 front and 37-39 rear for max tire life...but really depends on the tires and ride environment.

If you are talking about an F4i, my 2001 manual says 36 PSI front and 42 PSI rear. I can feel it in the handling on curves if they get more than 4-5 PSI lower than that. It should also be printed on a sticker on your chain guard if it is still there. Hope this helps.

u have to watch out because the sportier tires have a 42psi max, you don't want them to blow on your face at the air pump :P

I usually go 32 front 34 rear
because they eventually warm up to greater
