Default tire pressure problem

okay i got my bike (07 250) back from the dealers for its 600 mile checkup 3 weeks ago and im checking the tire pressure, front - 37.5, back 42. i looked in MOM and it says the front shoudl be 28 and the back should be 32 when cold. i cant find what it should be when its not cold out (florida). im awfully high if it shoudl be set to the cold temp ones, anyone know? thanks!

The cold thing refers to the tires temp...not the temp outside. Check the pressure when you have not ridden for a while (ie. before you get on it in the morning) and that is the cold temp.

I would guess that a few hours would be sufficient. If they don't look low, and you aren't hitting motogp speeds, it should be OK to ride around town. Then just check them in the morning.

hahaha, sorry man, had to laugh a little with this. yes as mentioned above, cold tires = before the ride, hot temps = just after a ride.
