Why come my bike rides fine and the tires dont look low but it only says 0 lb?

Question

yamaha yz 125

Answer 1

If it is slap flat with 0lbs pressure you would know it.  Check out a different guage.  Dont use the ones that are attached to portable compressors.  For 3-10 dollars you can buy a reliable guage.

Another note:  Amen Dingo...

Answer 2

Hey Corey,

That's good advice.

By the way you would probably get a better responce if you posted this in "cars and transportation" under "motorcycles"

This forum is for racing questions - like "Did you watch the gp this weekend?"

Answer 3

maybe, just maybe you are so used to riding with the tire soft (0lbs.) that you don't realize.. some tire walls will stay up, usually if the tire is flat you will experience a washy feeling, a loose feeling when riding.. in answers b4 check you gauge..  also maybe the owner b4 for some odd reason, put a moose tube in there and they hold up and don't have any pressure in them.. check it out..

Answer 4

Try checking it again with a different gauge, or using the suspect gauge on another vehicle.  I have a sneaky suspicion your pressure gauge isn't working.
