Just placed my order using PayPal. Thanks . . . looking forward to this. It will make checking tire pressure a lot easier for the front!

Thanks! :thumbup:
But does this count as a farkle, or a tool? :dontknow:

Not that it matters but when I was racing Nascar Modifieds we had at least a half dozen tires gages besides the digital ones. Tire pressures at the start of a race with bias tires was around 18 pounds. Each year they were sent to Longacre for repairs and recalibration. Very inexpensive to have them done.
So now where do I find this spyder guage. Was it to come with the spider or is it an aftermarket purchase? Don't recall it in the manual but you know how guy's are with those. I learned 10 times more here !

TOOL KIT

Its in the tool kit under the seat at least it was included in the tool kit on the Wifes 2011 RT I can't remember if there is one in my tool kit on my 2013 STL?

I would like to get one of these too, if they are still available. Can anyone tell me where to get one?ray:

My 2014 didn't include a pressure gauge.

I was looking for one in my tool kit to prepare for SpyderQuest, but I found the pressure gauge was missing.
I called up my dealer. I was told BRP had so many issues with these being inaccurate, they just stopped including them in the tool kit.
So I went to the local auto parts store and bought one. No big deal.

Are any of the gauges you guys use repeatable enough to get the tire pressure difference between the front tires within 0.5 psig as stated in the manual?

I gave up trying to find a gauge with a hysteresis below 0.5 psig to balance the tire pressure and just fill them both at the same time now. Even if I'm off by 2 lbs at least the Spyder goes straight down the highway when both front tires are at the same pressure.

I have Thornton's device that fills the front tires simultaneously and it is a superb innovation. I use it on my cars also.
