tire pressures

I put 31 in front of S4 and 36 in rear I know the old owners book says 31 rear but i think its out of date ,

My Z900 has 32 front and 38 rear Kawasaki reccommend 32-34 front and up to 42 rear ,, seems excessive to me especially in a hot climate like Thailand


On M750 and 750ss in Uk its 31 front and 36 back


whats do you guys do ??

2004 Monster 1000Sie - 35 rear, 33 front - running on Avons whose website says use the pressures in the manufacturer's handbook.

2002 Monster 7501e Dark - 36 front, 42 rear - running on Bridgestones whose website quotes 36/42 (in practice I usually run the rear at 40). Previously, I ran Michelins and used their website pressures which were per the handbook

Not sure what the question is here Jerry if it's tyre brand soecific but for Pirelli Corse I akways run 5 psi more in the rear, that works for me but I don't know about other brands so much, but I would go with that as a starting point. See what the rear is doing and go 5psi leds in the front.
