That depends on if your kicking it for the feel or the sound. I believe the sound is much more accurate than the feel kick!

Got a digital gauge thats also a key ring, takes like 1 minute, all sorts of things can make a tyre lose pressure o/n. Better to find it before you go out, than 60 clicks passed the last fuel station.

Air..a few times a month. Oil I check everydayfor a few days after I change it, then only once in a while. I wash it4 or 5times a year.

I check tire pressure every day. The #1 cause of tire failure on motorcycles is improper inflation. Your tires are the only thing keeping your *** intact, so why not take a minute to check them? You can get a cheap little pen gauge at <insert your favorite auto parts store here> for less than 5 bucks.

I check mine before every ride just for the piece of mind.

What are you guys running for tire pressure? I put mine at the tire specs, what ever it is on the 2CTs ( I cant remember ). Sometimes though, I run the rear at20-25 psi when I wanna ride some long wheelers! Cornering sucks though.
