Default tyre preasures

hello,

recently had my new tyres fitted and was going to check/adjust tyre preasures,

does anyone know the standard tyre preasures? and if anyone rides them non standard, what do you go for? and how do you find it?

My sv650 owner's handbook says 33F 36B (psi) [pressure] but someone on here said that tyre manufactures standardise on 36f and 42B I use the latter and it certainly 'feels' better.

I'm on 33/36 at the moment, but I'll be moving to 36/42 once I'm convinced my suspension setup is alright (had a bit of a moment yesterday).

Default Re: tyre pressures

Yeah the recommended pressures are fine, though I always run 36F 39R. It feels slightly better, and can cope with the contraction of a cold day without dipping under the recommended pressures.

Useful discussion of tyre pressures in this thread, including information from Avon.
