Title: Wheel Valve stem.
Post by: Mr_G on June 02, 2013, 11:37:35 AM
Morning Peeps,

Any ideas how I can seal a leaking valve stem on an aluminium rim from a CB500S? Is there any easy way to do it without removing the tyre? Or do I have to remove the Tyre, fit a new valve stem and re fit the tyre?

I'm capable of doing the latter if I must but I'd rather not have to pull the tyre from the rim.

Cheers G.

Yep take the tyre off and change the valve.

Reminds me of when I was umming and erring about getting a budget tyre or a proper branded one when I was on two wheels - what settled that for me was when someone said 'Isn't your life worth an extra £20?'

Fair enough, Cheers.
