JustinNck1 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I don't want to mess with a pressure regulator everytime I want to put air in my tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Regulators fail all the time. My machine at work is pressure sensitive and we replace probably 2 to 3 regulators a month out of a few dozen. Mostly due to moisture in the lines because our air dryer sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've heard of Motion Pro but know very little about them. If they are "cutting edge" and suppliers to racing teams then I would expect their tolerances to be very ridged with 100% conformance to standards and their RD budget to be very high. A MotoGP season is around $12 million a season. Each bike is around $1 million and a team typically leases four. So I can see it now... "Hell Charlie! This is the third time our riders high sided the bike. Are you sure the tires are at the proper pressure!? What's this? I pressure gauge from Harbor Freight!? I don't give a $H!7 if it was cheap and the package says it's accurate. It's from Harbor Freight! Pack your bags. You're fired!" I'm not digging the Motion Pro price one bit and I'm certainly not going to pay anyone with a 20% discount off $100.00. It's a tire gauge for crying out loud and I'm not checking my pressure tolerances every lap around my neighborhood block. I tell you what I want... I want that Air Dragon compressor I can attach to my electric drill but made better and more compact so I can take it with me when I ride cross country. Anyone want to become an Millionaire? Theirs your goal.

I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for and if you don't pay for it don't expect the moon. To some of these hobby track guys that 1/2 or 1/4 pound does make a difference. I also am very anally retentive about my tire pressures and check them before almost every ride. Would I pay $90 or maybe a little less for a MotionPro gage? prob not, but I don't think it would break the bank if I did to get a quality tool.

You want a decent backlit tire gauge with a hose? The motion pro ain't bad. It's $90 on Revzilla, so I would assume RD is even lower than that. Some people also think paying for expensive gear or motorcycles is crazy, to each their own i guess..

None of these gages are temperature-compensated like the TPMS system on my BMW GSA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Some added relative info....In general, Digital gauges are known to be...(and remain over time) ...more accurate than analog units. I however still like the analog gage because there's nothing worse than going to take a quick measurement, and finding your battery is dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
