Do not go by the numbers on the tire. They are max pressure cold at max load.
The numbers you want will be found in the owner's manual. They may be (usually are) also on a sticker on the bike itself. The sticker can be found on or near the swingarm, left side.

The loss could be from any one or more causes. A puncture in the tire/tube, a cut in the tire/tube, or a leak in the valve or rim. Tears/and/or cuts are NEVER repairable without replacing the tire and/or tube. Punctures are repairable in most cases by patching from the inside of the tire. If it's a tubed tire, then you'll have to replace the tube. Make sure the object which puctured the tire is removed prior to replacing the tube. Several states have laws prohibiting repair of a tubeless motorcycle tire, and these require that the tire be replaced (if done by a commercial shop). Slime works well as an expedient repair if used according to instructions, but some sealants may contain chemicals which are corrosive to aluminum alloy, so be careful, and read the directions. I agree that using slime may cause tire imbalance, but I have it my rear tire, and I'm not noticed any difference in balance. In any case, replacing a tire is enough hassle that I would take my bike in, if I needed to dismount a tire - especially a rear wheel. One last point, ALWAYS double check the hardware when you get home from the shop to ensire the shop tech didn't overlook a nut or bolt which may fll off or fail when you're out riding. Ride safely, JB

the pressure rating on a tire is the MAXIMUM pressure it will take without blowing, not the optimum handling pressure, your motorcycle should list the correct pressure depending on weight either under the seat or on the swing arm. The correct pressure should also be listed in your owners manual. Don't go by the tire, go by the bike, one size tire can fit several different motorcycles, only the manufacturer knows the best pressure for each application.

read the tire it is on it fill it to the max pressure it is rated for
it is rated to carry the most weight at the rated pressure different brands of tires have different pressures
with a passenger you are close to the max carrying capacity
you need the tire to match
the rating on the frame is for the original brand type and size of tires

the correct pressure it should be set on usually is on the tire along with the wieght that the tire will hold.
