TYRE PRESSURE GAUGE

KEEP THOSE TYRE PRESSURES SPOT ON

Murray Walters

Its super important to keep your tyre pressure at the correct level.  We find this to be the most common comment by our technicians here at the store.

What we all need to remember is that our tyres are an important part of braking and suspension on a scooter.  If your tyre pressue is too high or too low, you may find that the suspension struggles to deal with  the bumps on the road, braking distances are often vastly increased,  and tyre wear speeds up or becomes uneven.

For $34.95 we recommend a digital tyre gauge.  Keep it under your seat or in the glovebox and check your tyre pressue every 2 weeks.  Dont trust the service station gauges as the can often get knocked about ( and even run over), so there are rarely two the same.

Feel free to ask our staff what the best pressures are for the front and rear tyres on your scoot.
