Ok Jerry and Gary.., Called my brother last night about keeping the tire inflated to what the sidewall stated and of course he laughed.  .  He reminded me that he had told me "to never exceed the cold temp psi rating listed on the sidewall."   .  You both are correct!  I will back off 5 lbs on the front.  Thank you!   

Good deal... hopefully you will see an improvement in the mileage.

Yeah, at the new tire & battery prices now you can't be giving up any mileage or time.  spyder

You will see an improvement in the ride.  Since you ride solo I think you can back off to 40 psi on the back.  When I ride solo (which isn't often) I run 36 front, 40 rear on both bikes.
