Default dealer and tire pressure

When I bought the bike, the dealer had the tire pressure at 35psi f/b. I used 2 pressure gauges to check it, then I lowered it to 22psi f/b. when I took it back to the dealer for the 500 mile break in service, they gave it back to me with 35 psi f/b.

Should I try a 3rd pressure gauge?
Are the dealer mechs a bunch of hacks?
Should the pressure actually be 35psi and the owners manual and stickers are wrong?
Will the Swinetrek finally be rid of the Chopped Liver from the galaxy Zabar?

the dealer will put whatever it says on the tire but you should run the proper amount for the terrain your riding on.....

I run 18 psi front and rear, ride the roads at 80 mph or off road increeks, mud and dirt with no problem. Never slipped on the stock rims but have worn out rear tire 1k miles on it. Don't want to put the new D 606's on until the stock tires are gone. Any pressure above this is to much in my opinion.
