2-3 psi more for Michelin Road Classics on a Street/Speed Twin 900 works great for me @ 175-180 lbs.

I have found that 2-3 psi more works pretty much unilaterally with quality tires and average weight rider. If you weigh more than experiment with more air.

 

32,36 is oem, handled like a semi; I’m running 35/40 on my t120. Totally different bike. My buddy on a pikes peak multistrada complained about the handling, suggested he add a few psi, made a big difference he said

 

Agreed. I’ve always run about 10% higher regardless of the type of bike or tire manufacturer. To me it’s all about feel and handling.

 

2020 T120, Metzeler Roadtec 01, 32/36 cold. a pound up or down when I start depending on ambient temperature doesn't matter because once warmed they always end up closer to 36/41 regularly so starting higher wouldn't be that helpful. I don't over think this too much anymore.

 

at 32/36, mine is a slug and doesn't get much better as it warms up, but 35/40 makes it much happier all the way up, YMMV

 

Some people aren't sensitive to how tire pressure effects handling and some people are.

It doesn't cost anything to experiment with tire pressure to find out which you are.

 

Thank you every one ,as usual lots of help on this site.

I’m anxious to try this on my T120 to see if I notice a difference. Right now they’re at recommended fill. So 35F and 40R (cold) a good place to start?
