How to check rear tire pressure ?

Never really thought about it. Just checked the air pressure weekly. Positioned the tire so I could get a check and go.

I usually lay on my side next to the bike to check and fill the rear tire. I can't contort my hands enough to check it any other way.

Herman,
My tire attention has improved 100 fold since adding the FOBO bluetooth monitor system to my motor!
Just sayin' . . .
 
Need to look for the FOBO here. I've tried 2 different TPMS so far and not been impressed - I seem to have problems getting a signal from the rear wheel.
 
Based on a tip from this forum, I turned the rear valve stem 180 degrees when I changed the tire. It now points left and is much easier to check and fill with my big hands.

The front valve stem is still in the original position, on the right side. I left it there, more accessible with the bike on the side stand.
