Abstract: A pressure gauge includes a housing defining a fluid path and a bleed path. An inlet is mounted on the housing and a pressure sensor is disposed within the housing. A bleed valve is disposed along the fluid path and selectively opens or closes the bleed path. An actuator moves the bleed valve between a closed position and an open position. A control module is coupled to the pressure sensor and the actuator and includes a memory and a processor. A target fluid pressure is stored in the memory and the processor receives pressure data from the pressure sensor. When the pressure data is greater than the target fluid pressure, the processor controls the actuator to place the bleed valve in the open position. When the pressure data is equal to the target fluid pressure, the processor controls the actuator to place the bleed valve in the closed position.

Abstract: A system for measuring suspension sag in a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, is disclosed. The system includes a measuring device that attaches to a wheel hub, axle, or other component. The system includes a clamp that attaches to a fender or other vehicle component. The device is connected to the clamp by a cord, which extends from and retracts into the device. When a load is placed on the vehicle, the fender may move closer to the hub or axle. Any slack in the cord may be taken up by a spool shaft in the device. A rotary encoder may measure the rotation of the spool shaft, and the measuring device may calculate a change in a linear distance between, for example, the fender and the axle based on the rotation of the spool shaft.
