i have bt20s on my bike 120/70ZR17 on the front and 18/55ZR17 on the back.
I run 36 in the front and 42 in the back.
you'll need to experiment to be honest to see what suits you - especially if your tyre sizes are different.
these are of course tubeless.

ChrisU, thats interesting matey......
I run 33 front and 36 rear
They're Bridgestones Battalax's
I set them about the same as stated for an old Gixxer
Must admit my bike does do a slow weave at 30 mph, but I thought that was the 4" JMC & short USD forks
Mat give 35 - 40 a go
