    What does the owners manual suggest? That would be a good starting psi and then adjust to your riding needs and comfort.

    I run 40psi front and 41 psi rear with Elite III's.

        Wellllllllll, I ran 41 in both the MPA and the BT45s that I used and with each I got on average about 32,000 out of my front tires. The MPA cupped and gave me a good "buzz" (don't get excited wingwing), in the handle bars thus I finished up with the second one I had and then went with the BT45 until I sold the '01'. Most of the kit manufactures will suggest running around 24 in the rears but I went with 30. I found that I got better gas milage and it did not appear to cause any significant "center wear" on the rears. While my front end is different now, I still run 30-31 in the rears. Works for me, bnut you milage may very. Congarts by-the-way on becoming a member of the 3rd world. Enjoy and ride safe.
