How often do you check tires pressure ?

[frayne]

Well, lets hear and your rationale ?

 

[Barabus]

Weekly has proved to be sufficent for me. Most of the time it is spot on, but every so often it is 2-3 psi under. However, when I am on a motorycle trip doing hundreds of miles per day, then I will check every or every other day.

I voted 'weekly' because that's about what it comes to, but I don't really have a regular schedule. I just happen to have the compressor running for one reason or another on the weekend and I check the tires at that time.

Every Saturday morning. I ride to work about 3 or 4 times a week, but then Saturdays I ride most of the day with the Southern Crusiers. It has just become a good habit and the only time it is really off is after a major temp change.

Weekly, unless leaving on a longer trip. Then I usually check daily along with a quick inspection of tire for wear and/or damage. If a tire consistently needs a little air to top it off, I check more often than weekly.

exactly as i would have stated!!

I don't ride that often, so I check before each ride.

If I rode every day, then I would probably check weekly.

 

[2006FJR]

I check monthly unless I am going more than 100 miles then I check before each ride.

 

[red2kcbr]

I don't generally ride to work (it's only 6 miles) so I check before saddling up for weekend rides. So I said every ride. Which is just about correct. I check a lot. It doesn't take long, and it makes me feel better.

 

[E1Allen]

I check mine once every three days probably. I ride just about every day so I figure that is enough.

 

[drjfjr]

I ride every day and I check mine weekly unless I feel the change in the height of the bike or it is a little squirly. The only times that weekly hasn't worked for me was when I have a nail in the tire. then usually I feel it because it is squirly.

 

[BeeLine]

I check weekly but it doesn't seem to vary much unless the weather radically changes. Usually have to pump it up after the check though because the gage causes about a 1 psi leak.

 

[CAJW]

I voted before every ride, which works out normally to weekly. Don't see a 1-2 psi loss until about 14 days go by, but normally don't wait that long.

Most of the time, before each ride.

I saw somewhere on this board a device would would monitor the air pressure real time.

But, I can't seem to find it any longer. Anyone have a link?

****EDIT****

I found it!!!!

I was putting 2 "t"s in the link and was getting no where.

T-CLOCK!

Before every ride. I've found too many screws, tacks, nails or staples in my tires.

Darn State of Oregon doesn't have enough money to keep everything swept up and outta my tread!

Sunday night when getting the bike prepped for the Monday morning commute. Wednesday evening after tires cool from commute home for my mid-week pressure check. And Saturday morning if I'm going on a day-long ride. It was checking the pressure Saturday morning for a ride down to Monterey to meet the LA boys that I discovered the rear only had 50% of pressure (20 lbs). Had to cancel the ride.

I've read this over and over JB and I keep smirking - had to share...
