My Daytona's got 'em too!

Nice one Triumph.

In seriousness you'll get the knack of doing it with the standard valves. I remember when I started riding finding it a bit of a mission.

the S4 has them and the Superduke had one on the rear, I got the front one changed from a straight to an angled one at the tyre change, so now both are the same, does make life easier.

Cheers Mark.

Good morning all.


Screw on 90 degree adaptors a supposed to be removed before riding. I've seen plenty of rubber valves that are seperating because of the weight of the angle valve, & centrifugal force. Use 'em & take 'em off afterwards.

In order to replace the standard rubber valves with the 90 degree type as fitted to Triumphs you will need 11mm valves & not 8mm as shown. Also £26.99 a pair!! I'm doing them at £6 each when fitting tyres.


Cheers.

The Tuono has a metal valve so can't bend it like other bikes making it near on impossible to do.
