I don't know if this posted anywhere else - sorry if it is icon_biggrin.gif

Balance Pipe:

I got a length of air hose about 5' in length, 2 tyre valve chucks with barb fittings,
a small ball valve with barb fittings both sides and some hose clamps.
(hose can be any reasonable diameter as long as the barb fittings match)
Cut the hose exactly in half, push hose onto barb fitings either side of ball valve, nip up clamps, push tyre chucks into each end of the hose and nip up clamps.

With rear tyres normally inflated, lay the balance pipe behind atv.
Ensure ball valve is closed and fit tyre chucks to tyre valves on both sides.
Open ball valve. A small hiss may be heard as tyre pressures equalise.
Close ball valve and remove balance pipe.
Rear tyres are now at the same exact pressure ! Ready for straight wheelies mhihi.gif
Do the front as well.

You can make the hose as long as you want. I balance my car tyres, trailer tyres, ect.

If your out on a ride and have a flat or pudgy tyre, you can use a car spare tyre on one end and the atv tyre on the other and give a few quick shots on the ball valve to transfer some air!


I hope this is of help to someone

might be something i can put in one of the empty drawers in my toolbox.

how do you hold both sets of the inflators on the valve stems? are they screw-on?

Im just in the process of getting all my pics into photobucket !

The type I use have a little lever on them and lock on, like this one.
I just have a barb fitting on the back of it though.

Now that is one heck of an idea Mr.GreenZ455!
Did you come up with that all on your own or is that some old school drag race trick?
Either way, I like it! Pics would help :)
