This is probably making a bigger difference than the particular pressure recommended by Suzuki or Bridgestone

I think it very much depends on how you ride and how you like it to feel. Clearly the manufactures will give some "safe" guidelines but these will be compromises for a lot of us as not all of us are "standard" riders. I for instance weight in about 95kg in my gear and I use 30 front and 32 rear. It won't start to get dangerous for you until you start to go below 25ish or over 40 so my advice is to play around with them a bit and see if firstly you can tell the difference, and secondly which way you prefer it.

For information I run my Avon Storm Ultra 2 at 33/36 and they work just fine for me at that pressure. No change of feel for +-1psi either.

Ok just been out to check.

Was below 32 so am guessing maybe 30
It's now on 36...

Upon inspection of the rear end look what I noticed



Borked the tail tidy and the bloody plate!!! Am sure it's taken some tread off he rear tyre too!!!! Argh!! Although saying that it was low anyway. Didn't get many miles outta that rear, 6k BT 45s I think ...

I know the plastic screw that holds it on vibrated the nut off and meant the plate was rubbing on the tyre and caused the tail tidy bracket to snap!! argh
