36/40 is what comes to mind from reading my owner's manual.

Did your bike come with one?

The max should be on one side of the tires.
Adjust accordingly...

If you've replaced the OEM tires with something else, go with what that manufacturer recommends. If it's the OEM Dunlops, it's printed on the down tubes.

Why would you look for advice on something that is in your owners manual?

Owners manual spells it out pretty plainly..... Tire PSI isn't like some Honey Comb hideout secret in order to have the perfect ride or get 100 miles per gallon. Read the manual dude and overthink some other area of your bike

If I have too much pressure in my rear, sometimes it'll leak out at the most inappropriate time.
