We probably all know the dangers of badly inflated motorcycle tires. Just the fact that badly inflated tires cause high gas consumption should be enough for us to check our pressure regularly. Then there's the dangers involved in under pressured tires....
But going down on your knees every few weeks can be a pain. You could hook your tires up to a wireless tire pressure gauge {link}, which is handy, but reasonably expensive. On top of that, you need to open up your tires...
There's another solution that will not be a burden to your knees or wallet. Called the LED Tire Alert Valve cap, the device is a very small tire pressure valve that's screwed on top of your normal air valve on your tires. Just replace the dust cap that's on your tires.
You need to mount the Alert Valve Cap when the tire pressure is optimal. Once you install it, it memorizes the correct tire pressure.Nothing more to do.
When the tire pressure drops 4 psi, the LED goes on, warning you visibly that you need to inflate your tires.
That's all there to it. A couple of seconds of work, and you're done. Just look at the tire valves before getting on your motorcycle. LED on = fill up the tire!
Price: US$ 21.99 for 4 valves.
