What tires do you have?

How much do you weigh?

What type of riding are you doing?

I run 32 in winter on both and 34-36 in the summer. 
Can we thin the gene pool?

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.
