36/39 on my GEN 1 but the manual recommends more on the rear for 2 up .


A good start for me though...it seems that 36 is a pretty reliable front tyre pressure & i suppose not much weight goes over it but im still surprised that a heavier overall bike wouldn't need slightly more even up front.




The rear i'll need to faff about with & i've actually gone up a bit to about 43/44 so i'll wait see how i get on with that combo.....but how much is too high???...i mean is 46 a bit ridiculous?

Yes noggy.


I'm pretty certain it's supposed to be 36/40 for the fz1 for standard, or 36/42 for two up/luggaged riding at speed.
As you're a bit heavier than the recommended weight, i'd probably go with the recommended 36/42 and see how that feels?

Cool ill stick with 36/42 then....never done me wrong previously but thought i best check.
