You need to give more information, in order to be able to help you. For starters...

What year and model is your motorcycle?

What brand, model, and size are your front and rear tires?

Always keep in mind: The "Max PSI" listed on a sidewall has nothing to do with the correct pressure for handling/comfort/safety of any given vehicle... That's just the amount of pressure that the tire manufacturer doesn't want exceeded for structural/legal reasons...

X2

IIRC pressures are like 30 front and 36 rear. These numbers may vary based on conditions. I.E. lace vs mag, solo vs 2 up, etc...

I run 38 rear and 32 front.
