Tire inflation per manual is Front 24 / Rear 32 and I run them both at 32,Usually replace rear between 10,500 & 12,500.The Front gets replaced around 25,000.

Always check Cold!
36 Front 40 Rear FLHTC per manual.
Of course I run lower pressure in the ice and snow.
Both Bikes I bought new had too low air pressure. Always check new purchases I'm guessing it is as much a pain in the A$$ for them as it is us to check and fill.
