To put air in your motorcycle tyres at a petrol station, locate the air pump and check the recommended tyre pressure for your bike. Remove the valve cap and attach the pump nozzle to the valve stem, then add air until you reach the correct pressure.
It is important to check your motorcycle’s tyre pressure regularly, as underinflated tyres can affect handling, fuel consumption, and increase the risk of a blowout. Overinflated tyres, on the other hand, can result in decreased traction and an uncomfortable ride.
When searching for the air pump at a petrol station, look out for a sign or ask an attendant if you are unsure. Once located, it is important to double-check the recommended tyre pressure for your specific bike model before adding air. This information can usually be found in your owner’s manual or online.
After removing the valve cap from your tyre’s valve stem, attach the nozzle of the air pump securely to prevent any loss of air during inflation. It is best to add air in small bursts while frequently checking with a gauge until reaching the desired pressure. Avoid over-inflation by not exceeding recommended levels and use caution when deflating tyres, as the sudden release of trapped air can cause injury.
By following these simple steps and maintaining proper tire pressure on your motorcycle, you will ensure maximised safety while riding, allowing you to fully enjoy all that motorcycling has to offer!
