Tire Pressure Specs for 2011 R1200R

I've been setting my tire pressure to specs I wrote on the wall of my shed when I bought the bike. I covered up the note with tools and since I couldn't find a pressure label on the bike, I checked the manual. All it says is 36.3 front, 42.1 rear. It also says the specs are on a label under the seat. My bike has a blank space where the label is supposed to be. I am assuming that the spec in the manual is for one up. Is there a spec for carrying a passenger?
 
There is a thread in the Similar Threads pane below where this was discussed for an '08 R1200R.
 
Not sure if you looked in the manual, but it has both pressures stated. Here’s the manual:

BMW no longer shows different tire pressures for different loads.
Not sure when they made this change.

I think most people ignored the difference and went with a two-up or "loaded" pressure specification anyway.
