MY FRONT WHEEL WAS BENT ON A 38 MILE COMMUTE FROM MY HOME TO WORK AND BACK AGAIN. THERE IS A BWM RIDER MAIL SERVICE AND THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN DETAIL. IT SEEMS BMW HAS DEVELOPED A WHEEL THAT IS OF A SOFT CONSTRUCTION. IT IS RECOMENDED THAT RIDERS CHECK AIRPRESSURE CONSTANTLY, WHICH I DO. THE PRESSURE AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY WAS 36LBS A FIGURE I DON'T CALL LOW. I NORMALLY RUN 42 FRONT 42 REAR. BMW CLAIMS THIS SOFT OF DAMAGE OCCURS ONLY WHEN CORRECT PRESSURES ARE NOTKEPT. THE STICKER ON THE MOTORCYCLE CALLS OFR 2.2BARS. IF IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT A WHEEL FROM BENDING AND LOSING TIRE PRESSURE (HOW CATASTROPIC WOULD IT BE TO LOSE PRESSURE IN THE FRONT WHEEL OF A 2 WHEEL MOTORCYCLE AT SPEED?), WHY ISN'TTHE PRESSURES LISTED IN PSI?
