Pressure info is also on the tag on the forks behind the lights. Or at least it is on American market bikes

May I add that Tigers and modern radial tyres are very sensitive to pressures. Even a drop of a few PSI can change the way the bike handles - that is it gets very squirmy below about 35 PSI in the front. Don't rely on service station guages as they can be way out. Invest in a Michelin guage and keep it on the bike. I use 44 PSI in the rear and 39 PSI in the front using Michelin Anakees. Different tyres like different pressures and in general, a few PSI more than recommended is fine.

I have heavy duty tubes fitted and both front and rear tyres loose a few PSI over about 4 weeks. I check them every second or third tank of fuel - that is every 2 weeks or so.

Timtiger,

My tyres also regularly lose some pressure and frequent checks are essential. Its ages since I ran tubed tyres, but my experience is that tubeless ones on cars & bikes only lose if pressure if punctured or have faulty valve.

My other 2 wheelers (bicycles) all run tubed tyres and also lose pressure over time, though they do start from a higher level (100psi) and the tubes are not exactly heavy duty!

I must admit mine seldom loses any pressure at all. I have not found tubed tyres to be any better or worse than the Tubeless on my TT

Like you David mine hardly loses any pressure, even after a two week lay up.

By contrast, the trophy needs topping up regularly, it also tells me sonner than the tiger if the pressures are low.
