Gidday, it depends on what you're doing with it & how much you weigh.

STD is 36F & 38R from memory, I like me breakfasts & beer, so I run 38F & 40-42R on the road. 2 up I might bung a couple of extra lb in each, touring (alone) I'd run 38 & 41 & track you reduce from road pressures down a few lbs each.

Always 36/38 for me. No idea if thats correct, just seems to work.

Book says 36/36 solo & 36F/42R two up or with luggage.

I've always run 36/42 as it rides a lot nicer. Except on PR3s, they preferred 34/40 to stop them feeling skittish.

There should be a range of pressure written on the tyre wall, stay between those and you should be okay.

38 / 40

but when I get my new tyres I'll see if the tyre guy has any specific recommendation.
