Hi, being totally lazy, could anyone advise stock oem tyre pressure for the pirelli phantoms?

Maybe me or the cold weather but bike seems to 'fall' at slow speed more than usual. Perhaps cold tyres after work and/or maybe just need a quick top up.

Thanks

Sticker on the frame says 33psi front and 36psi rear.

I have noticed much more grip on the edge of the tyre when the pressure its a bit lower than recommended.
Do you rode with less pressure? Felt the same?

Edit: I weight 72kg, and the suspensions are oem, with rear shock set on "5".
Tyres with 10000km of use.

About 77kg. Ive not topped them up since purchase and a punctured rear. Thinking ill go check as has been about 4 months since last check by garage. Im not good/confident enough yet to start experimenting with diff tyre pressures. ...or perhaps notice the diff in the corners.

Keep in mind that most of the tyres show MAX pressure, the recommended pressure is on the swingarm
2,25 front, 2,5 rear (in bar)

The sticker I referred to is on the swingarm but in psi.

Just some friendly advice, please check your tire pressure more often and set them to the recommended 33psi front/36psi rear. It's critical for safety and performance. Look them over before every ride. I like to check them weekly if not before every few rides. Tire pressure should be checked on cold tires.

Going down 1 or 2 psi does make a difference and you will get a feel for the changes with seat time and actually checking the pressures.

Ride on!
