Off-road tire pressure

I run 28 in the front and ~25 in the rear when off-road. Just ran this at the Biltwell 100 desert race.

By comparison, when riding my Honda XR650R offroad I'm around 20PSI depending on conditions.

I rode the Pan about 600 off-road miles through Baja. Sand, rocks, potholes, deep ruts and whoops. I found that with the pressure too low it felt like I was going to bend a rim and/or god forbid roll the tire off the bead.

Felt like sacrificing a bit of grip on account of the bikes size and weight was a good balance.
