Does the manual have a misprint - minne says 14.5 psi in the front tyre for one-up - that's got to be wrong!

See what the tyre manfacturer recommends as well. BMW are notorious for recommending low-pressures for some reason. I ride 36/42 like a lot of others on here but BMW say 32/36.

But there is somethi9ng to be said for dropping the pressures a bit depending how you ride. Fiddle about a bit.

Also helps to gain a bit more feel in the front end too.Drop it a psi at a time from 36 psi and see what you like.

I have settled on 33f and 38r that works well for the supercorsa pro,but each to their own.
