To inflate the rear 160/80-16 tire from empty to 41 psi took 28 minutes! That’s quite a long time to spend twiddling your thumbs on the side of the road waiting for a tire to air up after fixing a flat. We recently had it serviced and new tires installed by JBJ Cycles, Gold Wing specialists in Santa Ana, California, and they recommend running 41 psi front and rear. But it also takes a long time to inflate large motorcycle tires.įor comparison, I inflated the rear tire on Rider’s 1999 Honda Gold Wing GL1500SE. It is intended for use on Motorcycle, Scooter, and ATV tires ONLY!!!” The reason for this warning is that it takes too long for to inflate high-volume auto/truck tires. The folks at Stop & Go include a neon orange card inside the box that reads, “ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Mini-Air Compressor is NOT INTENDED for use on truck or automobile tires.

Though the KLR’s front tire has a larger diameter than the rear, it is 40mm narrower, which helps it reach full inflation for street riding in 6 minutes, 34 seconds versus 12 minutes, 23 seconds for the rear. On the street, I run 32 psi front and 36 psi rear off-road, 18 psi front and 20 psi rear.Ģ0 psi – 36 psi (street pressure) = 6 minutes, 40 seconds These recommended pressures seem to be a compromise between street and dirt.

The 50/50 on/off-road Continental TKC80 tube-type tires on my KLR are fairly skinny compared to most street-only tires, and the owner’s manual recommends 21 psi front and 28 psi rear with a load over 215 pounds (yep, that’s me). (It also fits easily in saddlebags, top trunks, backpacks, fanny packs, etc.) But I do quite a bit of dual-sport riding on my Kawasaki KLR650, which means that I air down when the pavement ends and back up when I leave the trail. Built into the air compressor is a 0-120 psi air gauge and an LED light, in the event you have the misfortune of repairing or reinflating a tire in the dark.įortunately, I haven’t had any flats to repair since I received the Stop & Go and started carrying it in my tank bag. Also includes are two adapters: sports needle (for basketballs) and inflatable (for pool floaties).

A third option is the 36-inch socket extension that fits in a cigarette lighter or 12-volt socket. If you don’t have a pigtail already connected to your battery, you can use the 12-inch extension with alligator clips that connect to your battery’s terminals. Inside you’ll find the 12-volt air compressor unit with a 4-inch, screw-on tire valve hose and a 66-inch power cord that conveniently attaches to your trickle-charger pigtail lead.
