    i checked tires today, they were at 34 front and 36 rear, i left them un touched.

    i have a 91 honda f2 which is ~450lbs
    im 160lbs

    when i posted this thread, i was very new to riding, but lately i havent noticed it happening. maybe it was just in my head, or maybe the roads are warming up?
    This could be as simple as tightening up on your grips and being overwhelmed with road input.

    When you ride and your relaxed your grip is loose and road feel is muted, (ie you don't feel every little bump) when you start to get nervous or tense you grab the bars harder and you have a more solid connection to your bike and start to feel every bump. This increase in road feedback can make a rider think something abnormal is happening and make them even more nervous/tense, when in fact its all good.

    Yes, confirmed. Sorry to have doubted you. It's just really strange, the OEM tire on the bike says MAXIMUM 42psi and the owners manual for the bike says RECOMMENDED COLD pressure 42psi! Wacked!

    Dress for the crash, not for the ride...

    Sorry, I don't have the link handy, i simply did a Google search for "1991 CBR F2 tire pressure" and this is what i found on more than one web site.
    However, i agree with some other commenters, this is for OEM tires, if you have other make tires, you might want to check with the manufacturer for your bike.
