TCK 80 tire pressure?

Having just spent 3 days at the BMW Enduro park in Hechlingen in Germany I now consider myself a TKC expert :P BMW set the tyre pressure at 1.3 to 1.5 bar for majority off road use. They still handle very respectably on tarmac at this pressure but you would need more if loaded with luggage or pillion. Normal tarmac is 2.2 bar front and 2.5 bar rear....what ever that translates to in psi ....:D
 
I use 32 / 40 on tarmac (high rear pressure cos I usually have a pillion) and 22 / 25 off road.

Although the other day I went out for a thrash and forgot that I had left the tyres at the lower pressures from the day before ... the handling was fine!

By the way, to convert from bar to PSI, multiply by 14.5.
