Tyre pressure

better performance at 36/42 on Michelin 2CT, running them on 33/36 end up with uneven wear (scalloping) possibly because of the suspension setup or like Griff said 'braking to hard' )))
 
Front 38-40 :eek:

You'll give someone road rash with advice like that :popcorn

I know i have only been riding for 5 years so my experience is not great as yet but 40,000ks on an vstrom 650 and now 14,000ks since new years eve on the tuono. For me these pressures have not been a problem. My riding is mixed 2000 to 3000ks trips combined with 800-1200ks weekend trips. 80ks riding to work and back. I did not advise him to use these pressures it was only and indication of what i use.

You could do a million miles on a bike with the wrong pressures in and it wouldn't make it right. Of course if it feels right to you and you're confident with those pressures then there's no problem. I won't be trying 38 in the front tho . . . haha

You've put some big miles in there eh? Guess there be some long roads round your way.
