Ok.. New to riding. What's an acceptable tire pressure. right now I'm running in my front about 34psi and rear 38psi. It says to 42 PSI on the tire. What do you guys run with?

From what they taught us at the track days they said 31, 31. So that's what I've been using. I'd be intereted in hearing more about this.

It says to 42 PSI on the tire.
That's not the recommended pressure for your tire, it's the most it can hold

Actually it can hold a whole lot more but you wouldn't want to do it anyway. Sort of a safety.

36,38 is what I used.
