4 PSI is about 10% of your tires pressure. a 10% difference seems like it would affect handling.

Hmmm 10% never looked at it that way,,,,DTM....I did notice,,,that I notice handling issues when a tire goes down to 25psi... I like running a hard compound tire back when I owned a bagger...I do recall a run to FL,,,and I calculated bike+2up+camping gear = around 200lbs over max load....no problems....

I was told by my dealer to use 40 lbs front and rear

its more than is recomended

40lbs is to make the tires last longer

ride quality difference not noticable
