Go to the downloads section on here and get yourself a copy of the owners manual if your bike didn't come with one

Can depend on the tyres you have on it, but standard pressures are:

Front: 2.5 bar (36psi) at all times
Rear: 2.7 Bar (39psi)
Rear:  2.9 bar (42psi) with two up and/or sustained high speed riding

Example:
Michelin are 2.3 bar front and 2.5 bar rear one up, but are 2.5 bar front and 2.9 bar two up

Bridgestone are 2.5 bar front and 2.9 bar rear for everything

Metzler are 2.5 bar front and 2.9 bar rear for everything

Dunlop use the standard pressures

Track day pressures will be different again
