That sure seems like a lot. And the recommendation of 42 psi is the same whether riding single or double. My other motorcycle calls for 36.7 psi in the rear.
I never carry a passenger and only weigh 150 lbs, and have found out thru experimentation using my backside that the ride quality is WAY better at 37psi than at 40 psi. The rear shock is set for minimum preload and a half turn out from full rebound damping. The lower tire pressure greatly removes the jittery feel over small road imperfections.
What is the downside of running 5 psi below the recommended pressure?
