Your owners manual tells you exactly at what pressure they should be set at. Front 15-17 psi and back 28-30 psi. When in doubt read the manual, then ask us
I agree with Paladin and several others. I tend to run all of my wheeled vehicles a bit higher than recommended, just to avoid the mushy feel.
A trick I learned from a tire dealer…Load vehicle in the configuration/weight used most often. Have someone draw a chalk line across all tires, then take it for a ride, after a few miles, check the lines, if they are all worn off evenly across the tires, the pressure is good.
Other opinions may vary!

Count me as a 20 and 28 guy too. There is a vendor out there that has a very cool tool called a 'dual filler.' Makes it easy to fill or deflate your front tires equally. I don't know what the rules are for mentioning products which is why I didn't give you a name or company. Someone else might mention it or private message me. Probably not hard to make your own as well. I also agree with you, if someone is going to be a [*******] about replying or telling you to read the manual, which you clearly did anyway, just keep quiet.
Just got new tires for my 2017 Spyder RT yesterday. I had a hard time finding a dealer that had anything approaching "fresh" tires. One Ride Now franchise offered me tires that were a year + past their DOT code... I passed. Finally found a set at Ride Now Phoenix that were 6 ish months past the Dot code so went with them. My owners manual says 28 rear and 22 for the fronts but that was from 7 years ago. Now the dealer insists that while 28 for the rear is fine they put 18 in the fronts. Said they will wear and ride much better. I went with the Kenda Radials {$395.04 mounted and balanced with new valve stems OTD} and these are supposed to be a big improvement over the older Kenda's... we'll see. After one short test ride everything is fine and I do see significant improvements in the ride and handling but need more miles to make a better evaluation. To that end we are heading out next week for some serious riding that should tell the tale... Film at eleven!
