Default Air pressure

So my SG requires 40 PSI in both the front and rear. What do you all find to be a good PSI for solo and a passenger.

That's what I run. I might go as low as 38 front, but usually do 40/40.

It mostly depends on riders priority of getting better tire mileage or a more comfortable ride. If you keep 30 to 38 p.s.i. in your tires, be prepared to replace the tire more often.

I ride solo. My '09 rides well enough that keeping 40/41 p.s.i. in both tires is a fairly comfortable ride. Riders of other models may not be able to do the same.

I had to ask because the manual reads 36 PSI. Not like it makes a huge difference but just wondering.
