It's NOT that difficult. Front tire, check and adjust air pressure while valve is position to the front. Rear tire, valve should positioned to the bottom. I use a standard air chuck from my air compressor and a motion pro digital air gauge. Tires should be checked weekly.
The 2014 is actually much easier than the earlier bikes. The wheels on my 2010 and 2012 bikes made it nearly impossible to use most tire pressue gauges.
Agree. it is easier on my 2015 Limited compared to my 2010 Limited.
If you notice the CVO's have 90 degree valve stems like on a Goldwing. My next tire change my Ultra will have them.
I did the 90 degree stems on my 2011 and regretted it. After I put the 90 degrees stems on, I had to use two hands to check and adjust air to support the valve stem. I'll never do that again.
90* air chuck and pressure gauge, good to go. Keep a piece of plywood handy to lay on for rear tire check. Keep a flexible extension on board for trips 'cause service stations will not have 90* chuck.
I use the small extra brass chuck that comes with it. That is the same style air chuck I use to fill the tires with air.
Stupid question. I have the same tire guage and I want to switch to the small brass chuck. Of course the thing came with no instructions. How do you remove the "stock" chuck? I played around with it for a while but could not figure out where to remove....
