[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1322189, member: 277"] Tire pressure gauges come in three types, stick, dial (bourdon tube) and digital. Being digital doesn't always imply high accuracy. The dial type gauges can be knocked out of calibration if dropped. Motorcycles have additional issues due to the small space between the stem on the wheel and the rotors and this is worth considering when looking at gauges. I use a dial gauge that has a rubber protective shell, a long hose that clamps on the stem, has a pressure release button and a remote fill port. I compare it against a professional gauge periodically and after 20 years it is still within 1 psi of the reference gauge. It was initially purchased to adjust tire pressure at the drag strip but it also does garage duty. This is a very [URL="https://www.mcnews.com/mcn/technical/200511gauges.pdf"]good review[/URL] but it is now 11 years old. This is a more [URL="https://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/rg/air/air.htm"]recent review[/URL] but not comprehensive. FWIW, non motorcycle specific gauge review: [IMG]https://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d168/ionbeam/FJR%20Technical/Capture_zpsah5xy3py.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
