    In doing an internet search for the correct "cold" single-rider tire pressure for my Bonneville, I encountered numbers all over the board....... Here is what page 157 of the manual recommends for my 2020 T-100. 32 front, 36 rear.

    I had the same with my bike. I found the pressure in the manual and it was misbehaving front end. I got Bulldog to pick it up and they said to always go over similar to the 37 42 pressures and it did change the handling immensely.

    Dealer advised me to use 36 front, 42 rear. Some guys I ride with drop 2psi if riding bad/b roads :cool:

    Meant to be same as yours, 32/36 on my T120 but I found handling much better with 36/40. Now got Avon Spirits front and back, front forks no longer covered in rubber from tyre, don't know if thats due to more pressure or better tyre. It's your bike experiment to find what's best for you.

    It does say "cold" pressure in the manual so I'm thinking after a ride, it probably does come up from the 32/36.

    I was considering the same question.....the book gives one fig....so I presume that a 2 up fig.....

    I never carry a passenger......so what pressure would be good for solo.

    Now 32 psi front....36 rear.
