Somehow, I'm wondering the front tire pressure that YAMAHA indicated are low for after market high grip tire at sporty touring use. Is there someone had problem and, chenge it to higher pressure?

I never go by what Yamaha recomends for the bike. I run a combination of what the tire manufacture says and what my instinct says. i.e) Metzler says to run like 40 psi front and rear. Well that seems a bit high for the front but I will try it. But I normally end up with something like 34 - 36 up front and 36-38psi and maybe 40psi when I ride 2up.

Bryan-san,

Tahnk you. Actually, automobile maker and bridgeston had problem on spec of this kind of pressure. Yes, I'll rely on tyre manufacture recommendation.
