I have a strange feeling I don't have quite the right tires for my bike, from a previous owner. ME550 rear and ME330 front on a 750 Nighthawk - '95. The tires indicate lower pressure than what the swing arm suggests.
Those Metzelers are radically different tires from the ones that came on your bike. Nice rubber though... Go with the recommended max. pressure on the sidewall as the MAXIMUM. I believe 30f/32r is a good number for those tires, 32/36 riding 2up.
