I run 32 psi in the front and 36psi in the back (tubes).  I believe alot of this is up to the rider. Every tire is different. You could call it  black magic.  The side wall will tell you the max pressure.  Just don't go over that.

The best pressure to run, is what the book specifies.  If you do not have the owner's manual, try the FSM, from the home page of this site.  There were variations in tire pressure, based on model/year, so, again, the book is your friend.

There have been discussions on what tires to buy, so if you are looking for recommendations, check out the Pirelli MT66 Route tires.  They have plenty of customer comments available to read (search the Internet for reviews).  I believe they are sold just about everywhere, but I could be wrong.  They are tubeless, but I run tubes in them, and have done so for five years, riding two-up, full saddlebags, full trunk, and a full tank bag, in the rain -- superb tire, only thing I run on, on three different bikes, including my heavy Voyager touring machine!  Cheers!

The owners manual is a good place to start. But different tire brands and profile require different pressures. I have Shinko 712's and run 42psi front on a 100/90/19 and 40psi rear on a 120/90/18.
