 ??? Now that I have the Michelins, I have them at 38psi front and rear and they seem fine. Any opinions would be welcome and yes, I'm a better rider with the Pilot trail on the front. It turns around corners now instead of muscle forcing it around with the dunlop

I've always run 41psi, rear and 36psi, front. Manual also has those specs.

We use bars here rather than psi but if I trust the converters, we usually inflate 36 psi front and 42 rear.

Michelin recommends 2.9 bars rear, and 2.5 bars front. 42psi and 36psi respectively. But it also depends on the weight of the rider and whether there is a passenger. It also depends on what feels right to you. It doesn't hurt to experiment!
