Checking Tire Pressure
#53
Interesting!
Assuming you never spin or skid a tire, have you found this method to stay accurate over time?
What I mean is, when cornering in particular, do the tires always travel exactly the same amount? And, more importantly, are your tires exactly the same circumference front to rear?
Just curious what you've found over time...
All the best,
Shane

Yup, change to 90 degree valve stems next time you change your tires. Makes you wonder why they are not standard...oh wait, they cost $0.02 more each. That adds up to $ 400.00 savings per 10,000 motorcycles. Mine cost me about $ 4.00 per wheel installed last time I had new tires mounted.

One of these, connected to an air tank, so I can adjust pressure at the same time.
I generally pop the bag off to check rear pressure. The narrowness of the chuck makes it pretty easy to get into the likes of even my spoked wheels.
There are angled valve stem extensions you can use to help make it easier to get a chuck on. I've not used them, but others have and have been quite happy with them.

I got a set of the 90 degree units installed with the my first tire change...love them:
To add air I use one of these:
Along with one of the SLime portable compressors
