Product Information
Full details
The Apico Trials Motorcycle Tyre Pressure Gauge (TYPRESS 15.1) is designed for riders who need precise tyre pressure readings up to 15psi. Its key benefit is accurate pressure measurement in a low-pressure range crucial for trials riding. A potential caveat is its specific 0-15psi range, which may not suit all motorcycle applications requiring higher pressures. This gauge features a premium dial type for clear readings, a flexible hose for ease of use, and a protective rubber housing for durability.

FAQs
What is the maximum pressure this gauge can measure?
The Apico Trials Tyre Pressure Gauge is designed to measure pressures from 0 to 15psi.
Is this gauge suitable for road motorcycle tyres?
This gauge is primarily designed for the low-pressure needs of trials motorcycles. Most road motorcycle tyres require higher pressures (typically 30-45psi), for which this gauge is not suitable.
How do I use the gauge?
Unscrew the valve cap, press the gauge connector firmly onto the valve stem, and read the measurement from the dial. Release the button to remove the gauge.
How durable is the rubber housing?
The rubber housing provides protection against minor impacts and abrasions commonly encountered during off-road riding, enhancing the overall durability of the gauge.
Can I check my pressure with the valve cap on?
No, you must remove the valve cap before connecting the gauge to the valve stem to get an accurate reading.
What should I do if the gauge seems to be leaking air?
Ensure the gauge is pressed firmly onto the valve stem. Check the hose and connector for any visible damage or obstructions that might prevent a proper seal.
Troubleshooting
Gauge shows zero pressure or inaccurate readings.
Ensure the gauge is pressed firmly onto the valve stem to create a good seal. Check the valve stem itself for damage or debris. Inspect the gauge's hose and connector for any cracks or blockages.
Hose feels stiff or kinks easily.
Store the gauge away from extreme heat or cold. If the hose becomes permanently kinked, it may need replacement.
Dial is difficult to read.
Ensure the gauge is clean. If the dial is damaged or scratched, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Accurate readings within the 0-15psi range, ideal for trials.
- Durable construction with protective rubber housing.
- Easy to read dial gauge.
- Flexible hose aids in connecting to valve stems.
Cons
- Limited pressure range (0-15psi) is unsuitable for high-pressure applications.
- May require a separate gauge for standard road tyre pressure checks.
- Specific use case may not appeal to all motorcycle owners.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply unscrew the valve cap from your motorcycle tyre, press the gauge's connector firmly onto the valve stem, and read the pressure displayed on the dial. For best results, ensure a tight seal between the connector and the valve stem to prevent air leaks during measurement.
Compatibility: This gauge is primarily designed for trials motorcycles and other applications requiring low tyre pressures up to 15psi. It is compatible with standard Schrader valves found on most motorcycles. It is not suitable for applications requiring pressure readings above 15psi.
Care: To maintain accuracy and longevity, keep the gauge clean and dry. After use, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the gauge to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. The rubber housing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Periodically check the hose for any damage or kinks.
