Motorcycle Tire Pressure Gauge

You can try reading the tea leaves, so to speak, or you can plug a motorcycle tire pressure gauge up to the valve stem and get an accurate reading. The latter is the correct path of action because an under-inflated tire is one that’s going nowhere fast. It can also pose a serious risk to the rider. Not using a motorcycle tire gauge before hitting the road, track or trail can leave you with a tire that’s ready to roll right off the rim bead; it’s also more susceptible to punctures — and that goes for both tubes and tubeless varieties. A rolled tire or flat tube is just the beginning of your troubles (because you’ve now got to get home) so steer clear of such mishaps with an air pressure gauge for your motorcycle!

Motorcycle tire pressure gauge for right readouts

There’s no secret to dialing in the correct air pressure on your bike. Roughly 30 PSI on the road and around 12 PSI in the dirt will get you in the ballpark before making minor adjustments up or down. Not sure where your bike stands? Grab a digital motorcycle tire pressure gauge and offer it up to the valve; the incredibly accurate readings you’ll get will help determine if you should add or lose some air. For the workshop at home or no-nonsense track days, we carry motorcycle tire pressure gauges from brands like Motion Pro that’ll provide the most accurate readings. For on-the-road needs, you can score a stylus that’ll fit in your gear bag should the need arise at a gas station or pit stop.
