The Harm of Long-term High Or Low Tire Pressure of Motorcycles

If the tire pressure is too low for a long time, the contact between the tire and the ground will increase, overheating will occur, and the tire's service life will be reduced. Have you found that if your tire is "not enough air" for a long time, it will soon become "bald".

On the other hand, the riding quality will be very poor if the tire pressure is low, and even the handling will be affected, especially when turning, the whole motorcycle will feel like being thrown out, which is very likely to cause safety hazards.

Furthermore, the grip area of the tire is increased when the tire pressure is low, and the fuel consumption will be greater than that of the normal tire pressure. Perhaps many motorcycle friends feel that their motorcycle will become very "foolish" if it is "not enough air".

If the tire pressure is too high, the shock absorption stroke of the tire itself will be shortened, thereby reducing the comfort during driving. In short, if the tire pressure is high, the motorcycle will become very bumpy when driving, reducing comfort and easily inducing safety hazards.

On the other hand, if the tire pressure is too high, the contact area with the ground will be reduced, which will reduce the proper grip of the tire itself. Riding in rainy or bad weather may easily cause side slip or even rollover.

Different models of motorcycles have different tire pressures, and the required tire pressures for the front and rear wheels and for single or double driving are also different. However, it is generally impossible to adjust the tire pressure every time when driving alone or with two people.

Professionals can judge based on the tire pressure gauge and the tire pressure on the tire. The editor uses a home motorcycle as an example. The front tire of a straddle and bay beam with a displacement of about 125 is about 2.25 and the rear tire is about 2.75. The front tire of a scooter is about 2.00 and the rear tire is about 2.50.

If you are not so professional and usually inflate the tire at home, you can use both hands to press the tire. The tire only sinks 2.3 mm and the front wheel pressure sinks 3.4 mm.

The tire pressure of a motorcycle should be checked at regular intervals. "Add air if there is too little air, and release air if there is too much air." However, it is worth noting that the tire pressure will be lower in winter, so you should pay more attention to whether the tire pressure is sufficient. Also, remember that the tire pressure of the rear wheel should be higher than that of the front wheel, and the tire pressure of the front wheel can be slightly lower.
