After a search thru the site with no hits, I was wondering what tire pressures you guys use.  My bike is a restored 73 Rd350 that has stock suspension and original size tires. I don't have my FSM with me at present as I am currently on vacation and am relaxing drinking some beers in the sun.  I think a lot has to do with rider weight but wanted some feedback from user group.

Thanks, Brian

30psi when hot is a pretty good baseline

Assuming the vehicle (car or bike) is running the OEM size tire, I always start with what the manufacturer recommends for tire pressure, and adjust accordingly from there.
Generally the vehicle manufacturer will be a better judge of what pressure the vehicle should run. Tire manufacturers only state what the max psi their tire can safely operate with. Those two numbers are usually very different.

I usually run 30-35psi
