40 PSI both front and rear. Makes it easy for me to stay on top of tire pressure whileon the road.
given that you are running a smaller tire up front than in back, going to = pressure is not the ideal setting. Might be easier to remember and check, but 40 up front on most bikes (and certainly on any of your listed bikes other than possibly the KGT, but even that one I doubt) is going to be too much for best handling or tire life. Nearly every manufacturer recommendation I've ever seen shows about a 4-6 psi drop between f & r. 40r/36f would be about typical. Some go higher to protect soft rims from denting.
I would be surprised if the subject were Michelin, as Michelin recommends following motorcycle manufacturer specifications and BMW does not specify equal pressures front and rear.
Anybody with any understanding of engineering knows that specifications and liability are the same thing and that it comes from engineering and not lawyers. It's a typical statement from the ignorant and those determined to promote themselves as smarter than engineers. ... This NEVER happens.
Best course is to follow the manufacturers suggested pressures for your particular model regardless of tire brand. Folks tweak pressures to suit their wallets or riding styles...so what?
I personally do not run higher pressures in the front as it is too hard for my riding style of wearing the edges down. My experience in rain riding also got me not over-inflating the front. YRMV
Your tires, your backside...go ride
NEVER????? Engineers came up with the 10% rule. They also designed the TPS system which is so unreliable for specific pressure that its only practical purpose is to let you know you are losing air. So which set of engineers do you listen to?Anybody with any understanding of engineering knows that specifications and liability are the same thing and that it comes from engineering and not lawyers.

I also run 40psi fore and aft.....Michelin PR-2, last set 14,300 miles.....works for me
