Sorry to be thick but I was checking my tyre pressures on my 02 BA and have put them at 36psi both back and front. I have found the handling much better. On one of the guides it says 36 Front and 40 rear they are factory fitted tyres  . Any comments guys.

FWIW I run 32 psi in the front and 36 in the rear...

36 psi for both makes my bike handle much better also.

I've been keeping mine 32/36 since new. After 9000 miles the tires look great, ride great, no problems - with the stock Bridgestones.

I'm pretty happy at 32/36 on the stock tires myself. I might be tempted to boost the front for a group ride this weekend and see if there's any noticable difference but the rear feels good at 36.
