gus,
I`ve been in the tyre game for 20 some years
the only tyre checker u should have on ur bike is you
valve cores are only for letting air in or out
use metal valve caps with o rings in them
i check my air pressures every time i ride
those caps that change colour or the green ring caps
or valve sensors are for lazy people.
ps thanks for the info on the sticker on my tank

Never used em but recon they'd be handy for a quick glance type of check so long as they don't let air out and don't effect wheel balance.

I'm like others and check tyre pressures weekly. I sometimes use different pressures depending on what I'm doing and where I'm doing it so they are no good for me.

Personally I think they are a bit of a wank and I can't see how they can be very accurate. Personally I'll stick with a tyre pressure guage and checking the pressures weekly. Mind you, tyre pressures guages can be inaccurate as well.
