29 front, 32 rear, page 35 of owner's manual, bottom right. Free PDF download. Mr. Paul has the pressures for single rider, mine are for two-up. Or you and a whole buncha freight!

Make sure you fill/check your air pressure when the bike is stone cold.

Take your bike over to Discount Tire where they check you tires for free. I've already done it for my 125cc agility bike. I make sure I do it monthly now.

Tires are used to protect the rims of your wheels.
They also improve traction under various conditions.
Selection and inflation pressure will enhance or be a detriment to the suspension activity and ride quality.
The manufacturer will advise size and inflation ranges for optimal performance under common conditions.
You must decide if there may be a few more un-avoidable potholes and sharp-edged aprons in your daily travels that might warrant change.

The owner of a busy tire shop once advised me that for autos, 2 to 4lbs more than advised for the rear was best, and enough to keep the tire on the rim appropriate for the fronts. (I'd use a little more than that ! )

Cargo loading on a minimal piece of equipment such as a scooter can bring Huge changes !
Be prepared to adjust inflation pressure to suit the immediate occasion at hand.
