CK, you win, after further consideration I think 2.1 bar front & 2.2 rear is nearer the right presssure.

2.2/2.5 are more like the pressures for my "monster".

That is monster as in large ugly behemoth

hand book says
Front 2.1 bar
Rear 2.2 bar

I ussually go for
front 2.3 / rear 2.5 and seems to work great... (+0.2 fr + 0.3 re from book)

I do ride in bumpy roads (london) and a lot of the time the girlfriend jumps on the back (hence the extra 0.1 in the rear- she is tiny...)

I think anywhere in between those is ok. try a few setting and see the difference in the handling...

hope it helps

30 -32psi Front and 36 rear
94 900 Monster, currently on Dunlop D207GP`s

The most important thing is get yourself an accurate pressure gauge...
Halfrauds sell a "Pencil Gauge" for about Â£3.50 made by PCL and more accurate than Most on sale, fits in the "Tool Kit"

under the seat nicely as well.

Check pressures when cold, ride bike....and check pressures when hot as well, so if you get caught out you know what to top them up to

And always fill over pressure, then bleed air out down to correct pressure as well

Much more accurate
