Tried them at 5psi above stock (37/41) and they felt like shit, tried them at stock and they still didn't feel right (32/36). Finally settled on 3psi below stock (29/33) and they felt ok, but wore fast.

Just put on a set of Pirellis (diablo front, rosso rear) and they feel great at 32/36. Which is what the shop put them at, and is stock pressure for the bike.
Run about 36-35 commuting

31-30 twisties

track can get off the wall I usually run around 26-21
