Air  (N/A)

It was hard enough to check the air pressure in the rear tire of a Burgman 650, but with the trike kit, I find it darn near impossible to check, add air, check, add or bleed, check, etc.  I bought a new gage with the head at 90°, so the checking is taken care of, but I'll be danged if I can reach in there with my typical 45° air chuck, so I added a 90° adapter for adding air, but the pressure gage doesn't work on that, so I have to remove it to check, and so on.  I just KNOW there's a better way that won't leave the back of my old- age-thinned-skin hand looking like it went through a meat grinder, so how about a solution that's worked for y'all?  My best solution is to get she who rules to push the stem from the opposite side enough to get the air chuck on.  I don't believe it would be smart to ask her to do this too often.

Re: Air  (Canada)

I dont know if there is any easy way, my guage keeps the pressure when I take it off so I can read it. I use 2 hands, one on each side of wheel to keep it on straight  and one to hold on handle until I get a reading. Mine is harder to do with my full body on, but I can still do it.  Do you have a digital guage.   Wayne

Re: Air  (N/A)

I use my "Ready to go Hi-Tech Digital Tire Gauge" for checking air pressure, and have no trouble doing that.  My problem is in adding air.  The chuck that I've used for years just won't fit unless I bend the stem quite a bit, which isn't a good solution.  Somewhere in a tool box I think I have a different one, and once it warms up a bit I'll search for it while I'm out in the garage starting the installation of the footpegs that arrived yesterday.

While I'm waiting, I think I'll post a couple of pictures in the gallery.  Nothing elaborate, and all the BurgmanUSA members will have already seen them.
