I'm using the recommended pressures...33 front, 36 rear. In 8K miles I have not had any handling issues with either the OEM tires or the Shinko 705s that are on the bike now. I cannot remember ever seeing a bike where the rear was supposed to have less pressure than the front. A good rule of thumb is that you should see a 10% rise in pressure from cold to fully warmed up. If you see more than 10% gain the tires have flexed and caused excess heat. Less than 10% and you have too much cold pressure so you are not getting optimum road contact. Running soft tires might be your headshake problem.
