    36 front / 42 rear
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    I'm really surprised its not in the manual but hey ho. You can also get recommended pressures from each of the tyre manufacturers - just go to their website. Some will just give you one set of pressures others will give you a seperate one for solo riding and another for pillion. I tend to go on the tyre manufacturers recommendations if different from the bike manufacturer.

    Tried pirelli but they don't have any bike charts listed....would 36 front & 40 rear be safe?

    both my bikes are 36 front 42 rear one on bridgestone and the other on avon storms so I think you wouldn't be far out if you used them
