Recommended 42psi? No.
 
Mine has sat in the garage for most of the last four months. Checked the pressure on it the other day and it was down to 24. Aired it up and went around the block. Still can't ride until I get a new tire.

Can we clear this up a little bit? What tire pressure SHOULD I be running on this bike? I also read 42/42 and many people go by this and I have been as well. Should I be dropping it lower?

If you have an owners manual or if someone has that little sticker on their swingarm, that tells the recommended tire pressure...It sure ain't 42 psi...that's the maximum pressure..

By the same ideology, look on the side of the tires of your car, the maximum pressures are on there but I can guarantee you wouldn't be running those pressures. The max pressure on my truck's tires are 60psi but the recommended pressure is 40psi.

I don't wanna walk out and take a pic of the sticker still on my swingarm but Suzuki does recommend 42 and it'll give thre best life of a tire but obviously lower will give you some better grip. I usually try to run 38 rear 36 front when tires are cold in the summer ;)
