Best Tire Pump For Motorcycle Riders: Dynaplug Pump Review
Looking for a tire pump for motorcycle travel? This one I am reviewing today might be the one you are looking for. It is small, compact, rugged and so far it works great, so I think this will be the one I carry from now on.

*Great air pump **MyBest.Tools** Faster than my old plug in pump and twice as handy without having to drag the cord around.And it works with my existing Ryobi drills battery.*
What a coincidence! I was just looking at this on one of the shopping sites a couple of hours ago and you post. I'm heading over to buy it now.
Ive had the pump for about a year and it has always worked. Another plus is it doesnt get real hot like other pumps... Good info vid. Thanks....
I have been using that pump for several years now. Love it. Dependable and compact. Cant ask for much more.

Thank you John, so glad to have you traveling along with me virtually! Hope all is well my friend.
Very timely. I’m in the market and this one fits my minimalist approach to motorcycle travel. Thanks for being it to my attention
I bought one of these myself a few months ago. I haven't had the occasion to use it yet, but I agree that it seems like a solid piece of kit. I definitely appreciated the range of connectors supplied.
Excellent review Tim! You always cover what we need to know about a product. Size, weight, quality etc. are more important to us than price. All the best, Webb.
I've been a big user of Dynaplug products for years. I'm a believer, and will go look at this at amazon. Thanks Tim
I purchased the DynaPump about 1/2 year ago. Great for keeping on the bike for on the road air-up and flats. Compact and light-weight. I ended up getting a battery powered handheld pump for home use as the DynaPump is compact and stored in the bottom of my side-case making it a little time consuming for simple pre-ride air checks.
I use a tiny foot pump made by DRC. I air down when I get to the trails and then back up to road pressure when done. Thank you for the review.
Great review. FYI - I really love the new video intro you did.
Great vid Tim. I have had this pump for about a year now, seems to be a great little pump. It has saved me a couple of times for sure. got mine for cycle gear on sale for 40.00
Been waiting 4 a review on this pump. Thanks
I air down and up a lot while off-road riding. I have tried a lot of pumps. Burned through two. I agree. This is the best I have found so far. Mine was the identical pump, branded by Adventure Designs. Same same. Yup, nice and simple. Faster than any other portable pump I have tried. Does not overheat.
Sold! got one on order. Thanks TIm!
Bought this and ironically have been able to use it in my car a few times. Works great, takes a little time but doesn’t heat up or feel like it’s being overly taxed. Super small. Bought it for my bike but happened to use it to refill two flat car tires thx to cold snap and not driving car for weeks thx to covid. Great recommendation. That pressure checking valve is very useful.
Great video, thanks! I picked one up with the Dynaplug PRO tire repair tool about 3 months ago, I highly recommend them both.
I have used this pump and its sister “Motopump” for several years. Brilliant piece of kit and highly recommend for your tool bag. Customer support from Motopumps superb and the pump a lifesaver
Another good review, keep going!
Pretty nice value for what you get in that kit. I like the small size too since we aren't hauling around a tool trailer.
If anyone is having any doubts about this pump, don’t! It’s awesome. In addition the pouch it comes in is big enough for a multi tool, 15/1 (tool from cyclegear), pressure gauge, and dynaplug tubeless repair kit. It’s my go to kit for all my bikes and I move it from bag to bag.
Thanks, I just got one from the link I like the nice quick review
I’ve had my Walmart $10 12v compact pump with my atv for 3 years now. Works great and I got it the same day I wanted it.
Nice! Was looking for exactly this!!!! 👏👏👏
Another great review/tip! 😉👌🏻
Thanks for the review.
Great review. Need one in my bag
I personally use one also. Small and effective...used on another riders bike. Nice Tim.
Like this Product Hoping to get one before the Overland West where I will be teaching a class in Moto Tire Repair
I have the same pump, but it only came with the SAE to SAE plug. works great. only down side I have found was once the tire is inflated to the desired pressure, you loose some pressure while unscrewing it from the valve stem.
Great review! I was thinking I was gonna have to add a 12v plug on my bike for a inflator, had no idea I could use my battery tinder plug for one !
That's really cool pump. I use one from slime, works really well I have been using it for about 4 years
Pumps are good to have. I bought a pump with it’s own lithium battery, it holds the charge for months without use, used it to top up 8 car tires, two on my motorcycle and one flat lawn tractor tire plus top up the other three tires all in one session and it still had a good. It has a built in tire pressure gauge that you set to your target pressure and it stops pumping when that is reached. The gauge does not entirely agree with my gauge but it is within lb or so, close enough for me.
I have a similar set up, can’t remember the exact model. The only issue I have encountered was over hearing. I had to fix my front tire after picking up a nail. It was pretty flat and took a long time to inflate and had to let the pump cool off several times. Easier than a bike pump but I carry both bc I’m a freak and I worry about the electric pump failing. I’m always surprised anyone would give you a thumbs down. :-) peace brother
Hi Tim, very compact device, I have been using the "Airman" compressor for a few years now, it is a bit larger ... Greetings from Michael from Germany
@ricardoneto7789

I also have the airman. It’s not too bad size wise. Has a gage and I have added an sae extended plug on it. It’s also very much cheaper
Mmm. I went for a much bulkier Michelin pump and whilst it is very good it’s heavy and bulky. This is much smaller and lighter - maybe I needed to do more research first!! Dang. Thanks Tim. Great content as ever
Great tool to have! thanks. One comment though, if you have to inflate the whole tire you might want to do it in two or three steps at least so you don't burn the pump, that's it. tks
Good review thank you
i'm glad to own one, really compact and saved me couple times from dealing with punctures in a middle of nowhere on long distance trips. Can't complain, except pumping speed is not amazing, but that is a compromise of it being so small.
I have the Aerostich compact tire pump and I have used it several times. I use the TPMS (engine must be running) on my GS for accurate pressure readings for inflation. My only dislike is the heat right after use and need to wear gloves to pack away. Any electric tire pump is a necessary addition to your kit.
I have this pump but the version without the cig lighter adapter and air gauge. I got it on sale at Cycle Gear. I use it to air up bicycle tires now that my bike is out of commission. I keep other little things in that pouch like tire plugs.
I have one of those, and had to use it. I like it a lot! Compact and some neat features.
That’s perfect the tire pump I use sometimes draws too much power and the bike will actually kill the port for 10 mins
I'm Kake from @Bootsandjeansriders, Rich carry a pump on he had special made, and I'm looking for one to carry on my bike and thanks to you on Dyna review I think I found it. Ride safe

Hi Karen! I think you'll be happy with this one, it doesn't take up much space and seems to work great so far.
Works great. Aired up car tires also.
This is perfectly timed for me. I pulled out my tire pump I’ve had since 2016. I checked my pressure and it was 4 psi low. I put on my pump and let it run for a min. Checked pressure and it was 8 psi low. I was looking up pumps online right when this video came out!
I am sorry for being two years late but here goes. The Dynaplug system works as advertised and is super easy to insert. About 5 years ago I ordered a 'pro' unit and have not needed to put it into practice until, yesterday! Pulled a drywall screw from my rear tire, used two plugs (one did not stop the leak) and sealed the leak. But, I attached the Dynaplug inflator and started inflating. The on-pump gage showed a little over 40 psi (41 is the target) so I stopped for a check from my round dial gage; it showed just 36. I had the bike engine running during the first and second inflation. The highest I could reach was 37 even after many minutes of use. FYI, my tire was suspended being that the bike was on a center stand; so no adverse inflation issue/s. The bike has TPMS so I got it to register and; 36! Perhaps after five years this inflator has lost it's capability. I had tried it when new and had good luck but not certain if I took it to 41 psi. My next inflator will need to pass an actual test to 41 psi or more. Good Rides
I looked at that very pump a few days ago. Thanks
I bought one based on this video. First use last weekend to help another bike in our group. Threads were bad on both ends of the hose. Wouldn’t thread onto the pump or the tire at all. Good thing someone else had a better pump. I’ll look for another hose, but pretty disappointing when you really need this and it fails right out of the box. I tested the pump when it arrived, but didn’t screw on the hose to either end. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Test it all or don’t plan to count on it.
Just got done watching your video and you sold me on it so I'm going to order it I have 2017 bmw adventure GSA 1200 and this will be perfect thank you . Also Google a man named "Johnny Sins" you sure look like him . All the best
Seems like a pretty good option!
Great video. I'll be buying that one. Fed up with the bicycle pump as well. Not sure if someone has asked this already but have you tried using any type of tyre sealant, a preventative treatment you put into the tyre that seals any puncture in an instant. I have been using it and it works really well. I was a bit hesitant at first as I wasn't sure if it would affect the handling of the bike knowing there is about 300ml of liquid being tossed around the tyre but there is really no difference in handling. I used to get punctures in the back tyre all the time, at least once a month and I ride about 60 miles a day to and from work consisting of motorway, urban and some twisties, not off road though. Wondered if that is something that could help with longer trips and off road as well.
Great review. Just a quick question. Is 3.9 x 1.5 x 3.6 the size of the kit(pouch) or the size of the inflator it self? Thank you
I’m gonna get one!!!
good deal. just got a nail in scooter tire today and finally realized i have no and never did have a plug kit, pump. i was looking at co2 cartridges and need about 6 to get job done. that pack of co2 is bigger than this pump.
Awesome video, that thing looks bad a.. and comes with a case! Love the new Tee shirt design as well and will have one by our next adventure =) I may even have one of these pumps, I mean you know me i hardly pack anything so I always have room ROFLMAO
I've had the Best Rest Cycle Pump and EZ Gauge for years. Comes in a red pouch that holds both, with room for plugging tools. Lifetime warranty. I too, don't go anywhere with this in the top case,
I would stuff a rag in there to make sure it's not able to vibrate around at all, since it's one of those things you dont use much it's one of those things that will have an issue from rubbing against itself or the case over time
Bought one today after someone commented on my Tenere mono seat video, I reckon it will fit under my rear seat. Must be good, Amazon SOLD out ... no one in Oz has them in stock so got it from RevZilla and it's already on its way from the USA.
Not sure if your still checking your videos, but I was wondering what kind of tire plug kit you use the most. I was looking at the special Dynaplug brand with the pointed plugs compared to the standard kit that has the T-Handle insertion tools and long sticky plug strips. Thankfully, I’ve never had a flat or any experience with any kit...but it’s only a matter of time. BTW, your book is a great read. You should do another!
Hello Dear bro always doing good information stay safe
great video !! i have a 12v cigarrette plug do you know what watts it uses as my 12v blows fuse at 48 watts (had to get rid of my last one due to this)
I had an older Dynaplug unit (bit bigger than this one) and it was unable to reach riding pressures (starting from a completely flat tire) in any reasonable amount of time (got me close to 30lbs but that's about it - just took forever for each pound of gain after a certain point). I switched to the Aerostitch unit that can get to 40lbs (gets hot but works, and it saved my butt on a dirt road in Arizona at 2am). Maybe this new unit solves the pressure issue... if you do a followup I'd be interested in a "pump up from zero" test.
Thanks for another great review, I'm ditching the bicycle pump for this. Was wondering if you had any suggestions for tire patch kits too? Thanks again and P.S., really like the new intro!

Looks good. A pity it doesn't seem to be available in the UK.
Whilst it doesnt come with a pretty case a AA tyre pump is sold on amazon for around £12 it is very small and where yours is missing a corner it has a guage and it lasts a very long time i have had mine years it also comes with the same split so you can plug into the the tender which i will now add as it reduces the cable so thank you. it has a space in the back for the cable to fit as well
Hey Tim have you ever considered getting a smaller cc bike like a 200cc or less and doing some videos about that ? At my age and not as strong and the BMW way out of many of our price range it would be a big hit with men like myself
Tubliss system require the inner bladder to be installed to 100PSI. They are road legal in Australia so road safe in North America.

Great review Tim! Thx! As others have commented, mini pumps can "burn out", after prolonged use, overheating, etc. so be careful. The small overall size puts a lot of demand on a such a teeny fast moving piston. Where most of these mini pumps rely on quite a flimsy rubber piston seal/ring. Though they are convenient and do work as you say. For optimal dependability, hard core adventure riders have recommended the small foot pump versions, like the DRC. Not as convenient, relatively compact, and more likely to work time and again, when you most need it. 😉👍
Tim, any updated input on this thing a year later? I'm in the market for a compressor. Love your content!

That's not a bad kit. You should empty the tire completely and see how long it will take and also that it doesn't get hot enough to fail. Got to be able to change a tire.... 5 times on a trip haha.

Please let us know how is it in a year from now because most of the compressors can not get to high pressures and doesn't last long

Hi Tim. Unfortunately, You plug the pump to the battery in this video. For some month I sneak around this product now, but until now nobody had answered the question, if it really works in the BMW cigarette plug without killing the CAN-bus during work??? Like to use it for my F750 GS.
Is this pump limited to 10 min running and 15 min down? Will it pump up in one shot from flat?

Nutech tubliss tire system for dual sports and dirt bikes needs to be pumped up to 100psi.
the Tubliss tubes on my KTM 350 are 110 psi
You must have helped them sell out... I went to check it out and they are currently not available
Works for bicycles as well ??
