Tavares, Fl | Since its so hard to check the pressure, yesterday I installed the Tireguard tire pressure monitoring system on the Vision and today I monitored the tire pressure while riding. It was interresting that the rear tire jumped almost 10 lbs while on the freeway doing 70mph. I feel a lot better now being able to continously monitor the pressure
Cold pressure 35 front 40 Rear
Freeway riding 38.5 front 49 rear |

Newberry, Mi. | Very interesting. I know tire pressure increases going down the road due to heating up but I wonder how accurate the monitoring system is.
Have you double checked those readings against a regular pressure indicator while cold and hot?
Really good Idea especially for a loaded bike like the Vision. |

Fargo, ND | I recall reading once upon a time that your 'correct' tire pressure can be set from readings such as rlreed has taken. As I recall...Your pressure should increase 10% from cold to hot i.e. if you start with 40 and end up with 49 you should increase your pressure a couple lbs. and repeat your test. |

Newberry, Mi. | I love the idea of a remote tire pressure monitoring system as long as it's reliable and accurate. |

Be interested to find the difference between air & nitrogen.
I have installed two moisture filters on my compressor; 1 at the compressor and the other on the wall before the hose and I am moisture free enough the paint with. After a hard day of riding my tire pressure will have only increased between 1-2 lbs front and 2-3 lbs rear. This was even the case on my resent trip riding two up pulling a trailer.
