My gf had exactly these Chinese indicators on her A125. Stopped using them because they exerted pressure on valve pin and tire leaked air.

There are other good quality ones. Mine does not leak.

First ride today since pumping my tires up to the 21 lbs in the front and 26 lbs in the rear and she rode fine, a bit more firm but not bad, think I'll leave it as prescribed by the maker.

Thanks again to all.

I still have my original Chengs. I cannot ride with 30psi in it. The scooter just bounces and bounces. Feels like all my internal organs will break loose. I have 28 and nothing more.  I'll get a better tire maybe this year.

Yeah anything less than 30 is no good for me. The mechanic at my dealer told me my people's tires should be about 37 psi. I never ran them that high though. I like about 32, especially with the wider 120 rear tire.

36 rear, and 32 front on Diablos. 40/40psi is like a train wheel.
