Does anyone know of a chart for what psi a rider needs for how much they weigh. Gained a bit of weight lol. I want to make sure I'm running proper psi for my weight. Tires are pilot 2's. I'm 215 5'9. Its for a 2007 gsxr-600. Going to be filling tires cold.

Any recommendations. I'm thinking 32 front 34 rear.

what do you suggest?

Sounds good to me.
I run 32 both tires
 
I feel this question cannot be answered.

It depends not just on the bike but also the tire specs on it and whether it has 1 or 2 riders on at the same time.

On my bike Suzuki specified 2 different PSI for the rear tire depending on whether there is a passenger or not.
 
A couple of PSI after some weight gaining are so important for street riding?

I have ran street with a 2up all balls out and never even looked at PSI - I think you are over thinking it

Dude I have to make that 0.00002 secs faster to pose at Timmies. You're overthinking it
 
PSI is important for tire wear as well. Plus tires are the only thing touching the ground.

If you go on to the manufactures web sites. The contact us email link usually goes to their engineering dept which will reply in a day or two. Bridgestone's replied to me with a few PSI options for different ambient temperatures.
