I have this really NOOB question......

I am new to DS bikes, have owned numerous Superbikes....

Last Superbike I had was a BMW K1300s, which had really annoying tire pressure sensors. The bike was constantly complaining about the tire pressure that was too low. The bike wanted a 2.5 bar front, and 2.9 bar rear pressure when the tires was COLD minimum. When riding hard, without load, I believed this to be too hard.

Comming back to DS riding, when riding on dirt roads, everybody says one should drop the tire pressure, but NOBODY says to how much....What pressures do you guys aim for?

Secondly what happens to the BMW onboard computer when the pressure is dropped for dirt road riding?
