38 Front and 40 Rear.

This combination will give you the best tire longevity and the least amount of abnormal tire wear. The only downside is that the higher pressures make the ride a bit stiffer but in my opinio alot safer. Higher pressure tires resist hydroplaing much better and still have plenty of reserve traction for our cruiser applications.

Never exceed the maimum cold pressure but runing your tires near this pressure is the best for a cruiser.

(On my 1300 I run 40 and 42 but the 900 is lighter. Our Kawi / Honda dealer indicated that they always put 38/40 in all of their cruisers in spite of the manual recomendation)
