Huh? Can you pump your motorcycle tires with a bicycle pump? I've always brought my motorcycle to a gas station and after fuelling up, I'd ask the gas attendant if they could turn on the air pump for free. They've always been accommodating but I don't feel like asking anymore. They try to make some money from the air pumps so if I were to use it, I should pay just like everyone else. However, I don't have to use the gas station air pump anymore because I have a bicycle air pump! Yes, if you think about it, the bicycle tires need to be inflated to a higher PSI than your motorcycle tires! My mountain bike tires need about 70 PSI whereas my FZ6R tires need 32-36 PSI. They use the same air plugs, so why not?
I have one of these Bell pumps below. It's a floor pump and it's quite well made. I keep it in my car. No electricity needed. Just muscle power.
After a few months of riding, I'd check the air pressure. Especially in cold weather, your tire will lose pressure every month. It's important to check it every now and then.
They're perfect not just for my motorcycle but also for my car. When I change car tires, I'd just it to pump them up.
