usually look at the walls of your tires.. There's a number that (max) - 2 psi

Thanks, I checked the tyres and they are saying 41 PSI (so 2.8 bar) - I guess they are a little low so i'll top them up.

usually the number is the max... so minus 1-2 will be better if you wan grip..

Usually the factory will not go to maximum tyre pressure, you might find overinflated means smaller contact patch and experience loss of grip in rain and soft surfaces.

I thought to mention cos if you're used to riding on lower pressure or let shop "inflate until it's hard", you might find some handling differences. 

I can try to Google for a Cb190x manual later... Need to sort thru a dozen random pdf sites to get the right one. The factory pressure should be calibrated to the weight distribution of the machine hence its good to know.
