Checking pressure/adding air 2 Years, 2 Months ago
I've found this to be a total PITA for my front tire due to the straight valve stem and spoke rims. Anyone got a fancy pressure guage? And when I put new rubber on can I get a tube like the back tire with angled valve stem?

Re:Checking pressure/adding air 2 Years, 2 Months ago
I agree it's a PIA. I use a 12v cigarette lighter inflator with the snap on type inflator and it has a gauge. I cut the cigarette adapter off and replaced it with alligator clips. None of my gauges other stuff would reach in there. My bike has tubeless tires and I check them once a week and pump if they need it. 2007 stock commuter

Re:Checking pressure/adding air 2 Years, 2 Months ago
I've got a right angle stem on my rear tire. I bought a dial type pressure gauge with the fexable hose at my dealership for like $12.00. I have spokes and I check pressures at least once a week or before any long rides.

In the description further down on the page the front tire size is included. Wouldn't hurt to call Motorcycle Superstore though. Or Metzler.

Re:Checking pressure/adding air 2 Years, 2 Months ago
Here is the gauge I use... Accutire gauge It has a 90 degree end instead of the angled end. And it's accurate to 1/2 lb. per a certified gauge where I work. I found all of my pocket stick gauges were way off.
