The little sticker on the chain cover indicates 36psi front and 42psi for the rear tire. Is that what everyone else put in?

I've seen other people recommending 32psi (front and rear) for other 600cc sports bike. Is there really such a huge difference in pressure requirement between the different bikes?
 
32 front and 36 rear works for me (with BT010's). See what works for you. I believe the recommended pressure on the sticker is for 2-up riding. :confused
 
i run 32 front and 30 rear, but thats more for stick and less for tire life. 32/36 works better for rear tire live

32/36 warm

Why warm?

Actually, better question: what's "warm"? Unless you also haul around a laser temperature probe with you, is there any way to gauge that there's enough pressure in the tire when it does cool down a little?

Ambient (cold) pressures for me, please.

i carry 1 of those with me :teeth. but you're suppossed to check tire pressure when the tires are cold or @ ambient air temp
 
34/36 works great for me (BT010 front, M1 rear)

The F4i manual lists only one set of tire pressures, which is for 2-up riding I think. My Katana listed two sets of pressures, one for solo and one for 2-up.
