Been running at 38/38 as I heard it gives you more grip, and after a little mishap where the fairing met the asphalt i decided the extra grip was a payoff well worth the reduction in k's. Had previously been runnig at 42/42 coz' the 'book said so' and i didn't know any better, but i was getting 5500-7000 km's out of a rear and the front lasted 13000.
Just recently and after a couple of weeks of not checking the pressure, they dropped to 30 front and 24 rear and the bike felt great, no trouble with steering/grip and i was none-the-wiser. Bump the pressure back up and it still felt fine. So I guess it's just the longevity i'm affecting when the pressure drops that low, either that or i'm a shit rider and haven't learnt the feel yet. <i></i>
