Looking for a good and accurate tire pressure gauge. my old one was off by few psi, what you guys use ?
I switched to the Motion Pro one. Expensive...but good. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0468/
This is what i use....less expensive, just don't drop it. http://www.amazon.com/Accugage-Dial...bs_auto_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AZ3VQHEMKZWJ337CR8A
I used this one for many years before switching to the motion pro digi. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000B...5_QL70&qid=1407019956&sr=8-19#ref=mp_s_a_1_19
I use the motion pro gauge as well. In comparing it to other MP gauges, we have noticed they vary. What I think is more important is that you use the same gauge every time, that way if your gauge is off, you are still consistent with pressures.
Also Motion Pro here, analog version. Love it. If you get one, just remember to pull the little plug/stopper thing at the top to equalize with ambient pressure before you take a reading. You don't need to do it every time, but if you change altitude or temps throughout the day, it will give you a more accurate reading.
I just purchased this one and I have yet to use it with the bike but I was able to put 45.2lbs in all four tires on the Challenger. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/joe-32442/overview/
http://www.amazon.com/Longacre-5041...429726052&sr=1-4&keywords=tire+pressure+gauge old thread but: Longacre makes a reasonable option. It also has the bleed button like MotionPro but only $20. Liquid filled option if you want more quality, still 1/2 the cost of MotionPro at $50.
I'm all about a liquid filled guage, simply because there is less stress on them when knocking around in the toolbox. Also won't live without a bleed button. So easy. As mentioned earlier it's always better to consistently use the same guage. Tire guages are like Dynos... Never the same numbers. -Tom
True, but check your gauge against others from time to time. I had a very nice MP gauge slip 4 psi over 2 track days (the swivel bushing seal started to lose it) and I cold tore 2 Pirelli rear slicks :wtf: Messed with the suspension all kinds of ways, before I put another gauge on it, and had to turn it all back, and let 4 psi out of the tires. Until then, all the guys were using my gauge as the benchmark; since then, they've never asked to borrow it. MP repaired it under warranty, and it was a few years old. MP's tolerance spec is .9 PSI which I thought was a lot, but mine was only .3 off after the service (they said).
My wife checks our tires with a cheap pink talking digital gauge. The funny thing is that I have gone behind her with a Motion Pro and it is spot on every time:jester:
I've got a Longacre liquid filled one at work, and a pair of Bikemaster at home. I have two of the Bikemasters because I keep one in my car, the other in my tool box. At $15 for a "real" gauge, I shouldn't expect much, but the ruber protector on the gauge is pretty thin, so I don't expect it to last as long as the Longacre...
I have one of these, tested it against my friend's liquid filled gauge and they read the same. Remember, buy one with a 0-60 range. Gauges work best in the middle of their range. http://www.jegs.com/p/JOES-Racing-Products/JOES-Racing-Products-Tire-Gauges/1770162/10002/-1
