There should be a chart in your manual. I've got the 09, they changed the pressures in 09 or I'd tell you what I run. Before 09 they are somewhat less I believe. Do you still have your manual?

Do not exceed 30 lbs. On the 09's they increased it too 50 lbs.
I'm 280 and moma's 225 and we are maxed at 50 on mine when 2 up. If any lower, we bottom out.

For 2008, the service manual states:

Rider with passenger weight of up to 200 = 20-25 psi

Max GVWR (See label) = 20-35 psi

Not sure about 06 models though
