    Just a quick one, no complaints over my tyre choice but when I did tyre pressure I noticed it was higher than was recommended.

    34F and 36R is the manual choice, but I am thinking about going 36F and 40R.

    What are folks on here running, just wondering as I feel (as I am a bit over weight and hitting forty soon!) and the suspension is stock setting that I would benefit from increasing the tyre pressure?

    Thoughts?

    I like 36/42 on all my tyres on the road. No harm in trying and see how you like it.

    I experimented with 42 in the rear and it squared off remarkably quickly. Not sure why but I seem to recall the street triple specifies a higher rear Tyre pressure?

    I got near home and tried 36F and 42R. Felt very different more cushioned if that makes sense? It's only a short hop from the petrol station to home so will give it a proper run tomorrow and see how it goes.

    Thanks for the input folks.

    Just wanted to confirm that 36F and 42R feels much nicer this morning, thanks @Stu675
