I WAS running mine at 32F/34R as this was recommended to me and being a new rider took the shops word for it. I was really struggling to ride it at low speeds and it was feeling a little odd and twitchy, I considered swapping the bike in as a result…… however I have now pumped them up to 34F/46R and it feels like a totally different machine.
Its now much more predictable at low speeds and more confidence inspiring at higher speeds. I have no idea why I was told to put so little air in them and will continue to tinker with a bit more when the weather clears up.
Have to say that 46 rear is too high in my opinion, like punkstig I wouldn't go above 42 especially bearing in mind your weight.
I run my PR3s at 34F & 38R normally or 36 & 40 if with luggage/pillion or lots of high speed. If I'm taking an especially heavy load, will bump up to 42R. I weigh 11 1/2 stone geared up.
@ trackday (Snetterton) was recommended 34 & 34 iirc by michelin man
