I am just curious. How often do you check your tire pressure? How often do you have to add air? Thanks

Every week, at most every other weekend. It's got to be one of the most important safety procedures done on a motorcycle, and I'm always amazed at how much air they lose in a fairly short span of time. If I hadn't done this a couple of weeks ago, I might not have noticed I had a staple in my rear tire, and my pressure was down 13 lbs. - I'd have been in a bad situation had it let go on the twisty canyon roads I ride on around here...

every couple of days ...every couple of checks.

I check tires for damage before each ride. I also check pressure before each ride. They need maybe one psi bump per week on average.

I check the pressure before every ride. I add air maybe once/week, but probably less often than that.

Note that The Ferret rides nearly every day. If I were able to do that, I would probably not check pressure every day, either.

Yes, weekly is pretty average I think. That's what I do.
I don't find there's much air loss in a week, but there is always some and I keep them right on the mark regardless.
If I don't ride for 2-3 weeks the loss can easily be 2-3 pounds.

Okay thanks everyone.
Are most of you running one up 36/42?

One up...35/40ish

One up, 36 F and 38 R

Once in month or even more seldom. It's enough for me and my CB.
I and the Honda don't get nervous 'bout the airloss, if there's some.
Whenever I check the pressure, I do some correction. But it's not the world so to say.
