i know he always says to go to 34/34 or 36/36 but that is for big bikes with big tires (120 front, 180 rear to give an example) but should i follow the same advice for tire pressures if you have a small bike? like a ninja 300/400 or an r3 that comes with small tires like 110 front and 140 rear
Small bikes = small pressures BUT you need to know what carcass you have. If you are a very skilled fast rider, then you need 34-36psi due to the duress you are putting the carcass under. If you are commuting try 30/30. 32/34 or 34/34.
