Anyone using this for motorcycle tires? Access to valve easy?

yes, I've used it on several street & dual sport bikes - Honda, Suzki, Kawasaki. No problems with accessibilty.

This comes with two different air chucks so if the pre installed one is not suitable you can easily swap it out for the spare which is a different design.

I use it on my motorcycle a harley electra glide and it's perfect. The electra is a bit notorious for having hard to reach stems and this makes it easy. The bleeder is nice too. This was a great purchase for my bike.

Yes, you do have to pump up the tires initially, but they do have a typical bike valve.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

Not totally sure of the valve name/type. However, I can say the same standard attachment by itself (to which the others attach) works on both car tires and my normal bike tires. I hope that helps you make a decision about your speed bike.

It should be pressed against the valve stem without bending the valve stem. On my SUV, it can be done very easily. But, on my Royal Enfield motorcycle, I had to maneuver it as I had to insert the digital tire pressure gauge in between the spokes and measure the pressure with the dial facing the opposite side due to the angle and spokes. Of course, I can read the value after measuring and removing it from the wheel.

I haven't really had any problems on the presta valves. It seems about right to easily use on a standard valve. Some wiggle room, but not so much so that it won't grip and seal for filling.

It works fine for anything with a standard tire valve, it comes with adapters to air up footballs, air mattresses...ETC. I have a big air compressor at home, but use this for the smaller jobs, it works great for car and motorcycles tires. a little slow but that is good. the gauge on the pump is accurate as well. This is a handy item

I haven't had any problems, though I would suggest taking the plastic off the valve handle.

No you shouldn't need an attachment as long as it is the same as a standard bike tire valve.

My works well. The connection is deeper then it looks. It can be a tight fit. The hard part is swinging the level up to clamp on to the valve if your tire is small. You may have to adjust the depth of the plunger in the valve. If it is too deep the clamp will not be able to fully push it down to allow air to enter. There is a small tool for that. A bike shop should be able to help with this. If there is not one near you most auto supply stores should have this tool as vehicle tires can have the same problem.

There is a schrader valve near the tank pressure gauge. A standard auto type tire chuck will fit the filler valve.

not sure. It does have a minimum diameter, and I'd imagine there is a significant chance it would be too big for motorcycle tires.

You may need an adapter. This clips on to Schrader valves very easily. Prestas have the narrow cap, so it may take an adapter or some finagling to get it to work. Ive ran mine on my diesel tires up to 110psi with no issues.

You can get a Boston valve with a valve on it like a tire has. Check academy sports.

You can get adaptor to go on valve stem so you can fill air anywhere. Adaptor at any bike shop one dollar.

Works best on a standard (Schrader) valve. The cap has a little tool built in to take the valve stem out and it is very easy to do. Presta valve stems are a little harder to do because you need an adapter (about $3 at Sports Authority) on it to pump the slime into the tube but is very do-able.
