I'd say it depends on tyre, weight of the person/people riding it, and a number of other factors including personal choice.

However, the recommended pressure for the SV (regardless of tyre) is 33/36. I run at 36/42 though, as I prefer the feel, and like northy says, I don't loose any of the grip that I could potentially use anyway. (Read: I'm not a top rider, and I ride on the roads, so I don't push the tyres to their limit).

Re: SV650 Tyre Pressure

Hi.

I have Z6's front and rear. I would say that 33/36 is only just enough for these tyres. Any lower and you lose all sense of feedback from the road. In the summer I was running 36/42. The handling felt very sharp but you also feel all the minor bumps in the road surface.
