Just curious, I'm wondering if you received an Owner's Manual with your PCX? There's a lot of helpful info found inside of it.
The manual will tell you to set the front tire at 29 and rear at 33 (when you ride "alone.")

I typically run a little higher, maybe 31 on the front and 39 on the rear(I'm fat). Reason being that air seems to eventually leak out about 4 psi below recommended values in about a month or two. My Tire Pressure Sensor doesn't seem to work properly, so I'll probably swap those dead weights out, and it might help with my leaky tires.

I'd probably still top off a little as I noticed my mpg dropped slightly with lower pressure.

I've done worse that I'm still embarrassed about. Are you using the rag around the front brake lever trick to "bleed" the brakes?
