Product Information

Full details

The Raceline Low Pressure Pencil Type Pressure Gauge is designed for off-road motorcycle riders, including motocross, enduro, and trials, who need precise tire pressure readings within a 1-20 psi range. Its key benefit is providing accurate, low-pressure measurements essential for optimizing performance and handling on varied terrain. A potential caveat is its limited pressure range, making it unsuitable for high-pressure applications.

FAQs

What is the intended use for this pressure gauge?

This gauge is specifically designed for low-pressure applications, making it ideal for off-road motorcycles like motocross, enduro, and trials bikes where precise control of tire pressure between 1-20 psi is crucial for performance and handling.

What type of valve stem does this gauge work with?

It is designed for standard Schrader valves, commonly found on motorcycles and ATVs. It is not compatible with Presta valves.

Can I use this gauge for car tires?

No, this gauge has a very limited range (1-20 psi) and is intended only for low-pressure off-road tires. Car tires require a much higher pressure range.

How do I read the pressure?

Press the gauge firmly onto the tire's valve stem. The internal mechanism will extend to show the current tire pressure on the 1-20 psi scale.

Is this gauge waterproof?

While durable for general use, it is not rated as waterproof. Avoid submerging it in water. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary and dry thoroughly.

How often should I check my tire pressure with this gauge?

It is recommended to check your tire pressure before each ride and periodically during extended rides, especially after encountering different terrain or temperature changes.

What maintenance does this gauge require?

Minimal maintenance is required. Keep the valve stem connection clean and dry. Store it in a safe place to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Gauge not showing any reading.

Ensure the gauge is pressed firmly and squarely onto the valve stem, creating a seal. Check that the valve stem itself is not blocked. Verify the tire has some air pressure.

Reading seems inaccurate or inconsistent.

Check the gauge's tip for any dirt or debris that might be obstructing the seal with the valve stem. Ensure you are taking the reading with the tire pressure static (not while air is escaping or being added). Compare readings on multiple tires if possible.

Gauge difficult to attach to valve stem.

Check the valve stem for damage or bends. Ensure the gauge's connection point is clean and free of obstructions.

  • Trusted brand in the off-road motorcycle community.

Cons

  • Limited pressure range (1-20 psi) not suitable for high-pressure tires.
  • Pencil design may be less robust than digital gauges for extreme impacts.
  • No advanced features like pressure hold or bleeder valves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This gauge requires no setup. Simply unscrew your tire's valve cap, press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem to get a reading, and then remove it. Replace the valve cap afterward.

Compatibility: The Raceline Low Pressure Pencil Type Pressure Gauge is designed for standard Schrader valve stems, commonly found on most off-road motorcycles (motocross, enduro, trials) and ATVs. It is not compatible with Presta valves found on some bicycles.

Care: To maintain accuracy and longevity:

  1. Keep Clean: Wipe down the gauge with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Protect the Tip: Ensure the end that connects to the valve stem is free of dirt and debris.
  3. Store Properly: Store in a dry place, ideally in a tool bag or protective pouch to prevent damage.
