What tires do you have?

How much do you weigh?

What type of riding are you doing?

IMO, you're good to go with what the manual says.

...and if the OP called Pirelli they'd tell him the same.

I run 33 psi front and 36 psi rear. I have no issues, but then again I'm new to this whole street riding thing. On my dirt bikes, I run 14 psi front and 12 rear!!

2.25/2.5 BAR ~ = 32/35.5 PSI

Works great. Much more or less can cause some strange wear too.
