I lowered the pressures to appx 34 F, 35 R. I then felt it was a little to squishy of a ride. It seems it's better closer to the tire sidewall Max.

I had been going by the bikes sticker 28 PSI front tire 33 PSI rear tire. Based on my tires my shop set them at 40 PSI each. My tire sidewalls both say 41 PSI cold Max. This morning when I checked they were both about 36 PSI cold. Last night it felt almost like they were a little over inflated I wonder if just taking down a couple PSI would help.

On Saturday, my local bike shop where I bought the bike had me bring it in. They took it for a 4-5 mile test ride after checking all the alignment areas - everything there was in place. The one thing they did change - air pressure in the tires. I had been going strictly off of the air pressure recommended on the sticker on the bike. The bike is an 05 S40. The tires are NOT original. The rear tire is probably about a year old. The front is brand new - put on at my shop in March. No odd tire wearing or anything like that. The tech said based on the specific type of tires on the bike, he set BOTH to 40 psi. The sticker on the bike showed 29psi front, 33 psi rear. Big difference. Though I do still have a little issue I'm seeing it's much easier to control now and I'm doing a LOT better. Relaxing definitely does help, though I have to remind myself to do so! lol.

. Ok. I have had my Suzuki S40 since Xmas time last year. Ive had some really good days on it but lately I have what I think is jist a bad habit... when I start gping close to 35 or above, I find myself leaning toward the right almost as if Im trying to turn (but I want to ride straight). This in turn has my bike riding towards the left/center of the road which causes some anxiety. I noticed this a lot after I had ridden the 100 mile trip to work a couple weeks ago with storms all around. The storms didnt hit while I was riding but I was extremely nervous and have tensed up easily since then. I really need some helpful hints/tips here on how to stay relaxed, proper riding position, etc.
