You dont want it up around 30 psi or higher .That said yes the stock tires are hard , you dont pay $1200 for a new motorcycle and get cutting edge technology tires.

This is the first I have heard of lowering the pressure. Will that actually work going 70+?

Hahaha it's true. I guess I was just expecting something okayish for stock speeds (30-40mph). There are a bunch of quite good cheap moto tires out there. I guess at this point I'm choosing between Pirelli DR or Michelin CG. Lots of people like the Pirellis, and they have no center groove so I'll probably go with those.
