Tire pressure

Can someone advise me on the recommended tire pressure? Is the reading / pressure taken when the tires are warm or cold? I know there is a difference from my race car days.
Thanks

My '05 Chopper (250 Avon rear) is 40 psi front and 40-42 psi rear.
I've always had a problem with a 5-8 psi drop in each tire (esp. the front) if I don't ride and the bike sits for a week. No nails or valve stem leaks, so it has to be a bad seal along the aluminum wheel. I just been pumping them back up and living with it this summer, as I'm planning to change out to Metzler's (going to their 260 in the rear) over the winter storage at the dealer's shop and he can make SURE the seal is right next time. :cheers:

I double checked the frame sticker in the back of my manual..

Front: 40 cold
Rear: 42 cold

But as I said... I tend to run 2lbs light. 38/40
