Just a basic question here.

So my bike (new thruxton) states 36 psi all around. It feels super squishy splashy to me when the pressure is that low. I bumped it up to 39/41 and I love the way that feels. Surprised me at the difference in fact.

Is there anything to worry about with regard to with running higher pressures?

I don't know much about this but is it possible you are compensating for suspension setup by running the tyres stiffer. I imagine higher tyre pressure would have some minimal effect on the contact patch especially front tyre under heavy braking, which could be bad in the wet.
