I have a 06 fz6 with conti motions, the temps are above 70 here and unsure what the proper tire pressure should be. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you explain what "Loading condition" means?
From the manual:
Loading condition = Total weight of rider, passenger, cargo and accessories.
So if you're going on a trip, since most adult males weigh ~180, it makes sense to get closer to the 36/42 number to account for cargo. I am a featherweight at ~150 so even under load I hover between 33/36 and 36/42.
