the best way to be assured of even fork air pressure is to remove all air from the forks and add washers to the springs so as to end up with between 20 and 30 mm of static sag.
To set static sag place the bike on its centrestand and have an assistant lean on the rear of the bike until the front whhel is clear of the ground, now measure the distance between the lower triple tree and the fork seal cap. Now take the bike of the centre stand and sit on it in the normal ride position and measure the distance again, subtract the second figure from the first and that is your sag measurement 20mm is for "sports" riding and 30mm is for highway cruising so go for about 25mm or bias the figure towards you preference.
