What is the spec tire pressure for factory tires?

From my 2013 owner's manual, 30 PSI front and rear.

They list 29 and 27 PSI front and rear for the DS, but that seems inconsistent with the markings on the bike that suggest 32 and 35 PSI, respectively, so I'd err on the high side.

I have been running 32/32 psi.  I like to err on the high side. But using 30 psi, or maybe a little less, will provide a softer ride on a rough road.

One thing I like about my Zero's wheel/tire combination is that they really hold their air pressure better than any other motorcycle that I have ever owned.  My tires seem to loose only about 1 psi every couple of weeks.   :)  My Triumph (with its tube-type tires) looses that much air every couple of days.   :(

running 33/35 most of the time as this gives best range. ride is getting a bit rougher.
