I run 38 front 40 rear wife doesn't ride much any more.

I run 40/42. I Ride solo...

38 /40

I always ran them 40 front 42 rear regardless of single or 2 up.

I run solo most all the time
Front 40 Rear 42

45 psi front & rear

40/40 Never have a passenger.

36/39 solo 37/40 loaded. Just go with whatever your sticker says on the neck, it'll at least give you a decent guideline. Just don't make the mistake of running a lower pressure because you're not running gross weight, you might find yourself kissing asphalt.

You will have less heat and more load capacity with the Max Rec. Pres. COLD. (Check it before you ride) If you are running two up on a summer day, you better be pretty close to Max Rec Pressure. If you ride solo, lot more room to play with that. Just never go below the min or above the Max on the sidewall. The recomendations on the bike and in the OM are when equipped with factory recommended tires. As time goes on, tire technology changes and you have to adjust your air accordingly.

Last time I had a MC tire on I ran MAX Pressure with rear tire loaded within 10Lbs of max Weight rating for 3000 miles and that trip was over 85 degrees like 75% of trip, was over 90 a lot of days. I always ran MC tires at Max because I almost always have it loaded up.
