HARLEY-DAVIDSON ANALOG TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND FILL VALVE
J062392017-01-02
GENERAL
Kit Number
12700096, 12700096A
Models
This kit fits all models. Connect the fill valve only to a compressed air source having a quick coupler.
When using a compressed air source with a trigger valve (such as at a service station), use THAT valve to ADJUST pressure. Only CHECK pressure with this gauge.
Kit Contents
This kit consists of a tire pressure gauge and these instructions. There are no service parts available for this kit.
WARNING
Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced, undamaged, and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a Harley-Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated, overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury.

OPERATION
Checking Tire Pressure
NOTE
See owner's manual for proper tire pressure.
  1. Remove tire valve stem cap.
  2. See Figure 1. Apply pressure gauge chuck (1) end port (2) to valve stem.
  3. Note tire pressure on gauge (5). If gauge reads more than 13.8 kPa (2 psi), see Adjusting Tire Pressure. If no reading, or less than 13.8 kPa (2 psi), see Filling a Deflated Tire.
Adjusting Tire Pressure
NOTE
Adjust tire pressure to specifications. See owner's manual.
  1. Connect valve nozzle (6) to compressed air source. Turn source ON.
  2. Apply pressure gauge chuck (1) to valve stem. Note tire pressure on gauge (5). Press the trigger fully to add air to tire. Press the trigger halfway to bleed air from tire.
  3. With tire pressure at specification, remove chuck from valve stem. Replace cap. Turn air source OFF.
Filling a Deflated Tire
NOTE
This gauge does not operate properly on a tire holding less than 13.8 kPa (2 psi) pressure.
If attempting to fill a fully- or nearly-deflated tire:
  1. Connect valve nozzle (6) to compressed air source. Turn source ON.
  2. Press trigger (4) fully. Determine if air is escaping from end (2) or side (3) port. Release trigger. EITHER:
    1. Use THAT port to fill the tire, OR:
    2. Tilt the pressure gauge chuck (1) to allow an internal ball to open air passage to the opposite port.
    3. Press trigger (4) fully to begin air flow through the desired port. Release trigger. Apply pressure gauge port to the tire valve stem. Press trigger fully to fill tire.
  3. With tire pressure at specification, remove chuck from valve stem. Replace cap. Turn air source OFF.
