Manual says something like 24PSI front 27 PSI rear.
Seems a little low to me.
Anyone any comments / recommendations on tyre pressures?
All my riding is done solo, I am around the 11 stone mark.
Thanks.

i can find nothing to define stone in the usa so i still haven't figured out how much you weigh at 11 stone
what is that in kg or perhaps LB (pounds) as used here

Rule of thumb I use for pretty much everything is around 30psi.
30psi for all car tyres,
30psi for front and rear motorcycle tyres, regardless.
Though Andy, it does sound about right.
David, just times 11 by 14. 14lbs = 1 stone. I always wondered why US/Canada omitted stones from the imperial system..

Blurredman - you beat me with the conversion !!
I find that with the recommended 24 front 27 rear it wallows a bit.
Handling feels much better with around 30 in both front and rear as you suggest.
