Doesn't your RS manual call for 36/42psi (2.5/2.9 BAR)?

It does exactly call for 36/42. I’ve spoke at length with Dunlop engineering, sales and marketing people plus asked my master mechanic knowing he has experience with other riders and with my experience after several pairs of tires on the RS and based on their input and my experience the 38/42 psi has worked for me with usually the front tire ready to change about 500 miles before the rear reaches the TWI markers. I’m sure many riders push their tires 1000 or 1500 miles further than I do before I put new ones on. I never leave on a longer ride needing to change tires on the road so sometimes change with 1500 miles left on a set of tires.
