I run 42 in the stock tires, front and back.
That is what is says on the tire.

I seem to remember a sticker right on the bike specifying tire pressure, I'll have to check it.

[hotdemongel]

just make sure when you check tyre pressures you do it when cold....always. dunno bout pressures for wheelies but i run 34 in both front and rear. makes me feel more confident, any higher pressure and i lose some nerve. might just be phychological??? on the track they drop them right down to get a bigger footprint, which = more grip.

The pressures indicated on the side of the tyre is the max. pressure you can pump them, not the recommended pressures. Do not pump them too hard, as this reduces grip. Might last a little longer. You need some heat in the tyres to grip properly and pumping them very hard prevent any flex in the tyre and they don't build up enough heat.

OEM front should be about 32 psi and rear about 30 for best grip on the road. On the track you can bring that down about 2-4 psi each.
