Wheel Valve stem.

[Mr_G]

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.

safety first  pull the tyre off and do the job properly ,,

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.
