I go with what seems to work for everyone.
I am going to try the 40 40 and see what transpires.

Well since my prior posts on what works for me and what I thought I would be changing to,I have come to a conclusion.
About everyone uses different combinations and now I am totally up in the air on what to run.
Maybe all of the posts should have mileage achieved with the pressures used.
That way the uninformed as myself can get a better idea of what works the best.

Make no mistake! If you run your front tire at 36 PSI as recommended by Honda you will induce "cupping". This will occur within 1500/3000 miles. Once done there is no going back. The damage is done Ran my OEM front with 40 PSI which I set on the day of delivery. Put 16.5K miles on the tire before installing a Bridgestone Battlax BT-45. Could have went a few more miles but played it safe and made the change. Did a tire autopsy which I'm attaching. That revealed a well made tire which has plenty of meat remaining after being into the "wear bars".

Ok first of all I am the first to admit when I am wrong.
So I am admitting I am wrong now.
I just got this motorcycle about 3 weeks ago.
I just realized after reading Bob's last post that I never checked the air pressures on this bike.
Holy Crap!
It was my Yamaha that I traded in for this F6B that I ran the 36/41 in.
I just went out and checked my pressures.
Luckily the dealership must agree with the 40/40 because that is what was/is in them.
Whew did I get lucky.
The funny thing is that I am the first one to get on my friends about not checking tire pressures before each ride.
I have 1500+ miles on this bike.
I will be taking my own advice from now on.
Dang,I can not believe I did not check these pressures.

Have had my F6B since August.....rode for 3 months....docked for winter in Nov Dec Jan and Feb

started riding again in March 2015 and currently have 7100 miles on odometer......have kept front tire at 40 psi and the rear at 42 psi from start....check weekly...

don't really see any obvious wear after 7000 miles...which is great considering terrible chip sealed roads in my region.....stock pair of dunlops on my 2007 VTX 1300C wear gone at 9000 miles.....

Have never got over 11,000 miles from a rear tire around here....hoping to change that stat with F6B stock Bridgestones......
