Contact the tyre manufacturer/importer and ask them, don't listen to Honda as despite what they think they are not always correct. Every tyre and bike is different, tyre manufactures spend a fortune testing tyres to find the correct pressures and suitability.

Avon

Bridgestone

Dunlop

Michelin

Metzeler

The only pressures I could find on the Bridgestone site was for race tyres.

Mine are 015 front and 021 rear, I think.

I run 36f 42r on my 600rr.

That is on BT021, they seem to hold the road alright at that.

It didn't come up with any options for me when I did it. Looks like bridgestone and Honda agree. Sorted.

I was thinking of having my next service done there, although I think I might be out of warranty, in which case I might try and DIY it.

Kevin when you say twitchy do you mean the bike turns in nice and sharply? I've just got rid of my 014's on the Kwak as they were a bit too sporty. Mixed tyres will probably also affect the feel of the bike.
