Pevor 2PCS Aluminum Motorcycle Tire Valve Stem 90 Degree Angle Wheel Tire Stem Tubeless Valve $12.99 on Amazon (comes in pairs)

I had to break both tire beads and pull one of the beads over the rim to be able to get a wrench/socket wrench on the nut to tighten it. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
5 years later great information thank you.
After seeing all the tools you tried, I imagined chucking a Socket in the lathe (grinding wheel works) and cone shaping the working end a bit to reach into the 'valley' there.. thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Had the same problem with my shadow 1100 and replaced with the same stems, they work great!! Note to all... these only work on tubeless tires/rims.
Cool I have air leak in my 250cc Honda scooter brand new tire sprayed the stem and there it is. Are all stems the same size?
There were two sizes that I discovered out there. 11.3mm and 8.3mm. The one for my bike was the 11.3mm. Try and check your bike specs to make sure you get the right size for yours.
Cheap Joker copy I found it thanks
Was there any interferance problem with caliper after installing or did you have to rotate it slightly so it didn't stick straight out the side of the wheel?
I didn’t experience any interference with the valve stem and the brake caliper.
Alrighty so how did these work out? Holding you to that update you promised.
The one that was installed in the video is still going strong. I am waiting to install one on my front rim when I change the tire out. I haven't noticed any slow air leaks or loss, so I would say it is doing its job.
@@cheapjoker3321 now that there are no leaks, you don't need easy access to fill the tire anymore. (your name says joker, so I had to toss you a joke) Then again, you will have to fill the new tire eventually.
Are valve stems universal? Liek do I need to buy the exact one that came with my rim ? Or can I buy any one from the auto parts store?
Sure, just make sure they are the OEM size. I replaced mine with 90 degree valves stems and makes life a whole lot easier.
Hi, have a feedback for the valve repleacement
So far its holding up good.
I never used any sealant and they have always leaked 6 pounds about every 3 months. To small of a leak to detect with water on front and back at the same times. When I go to replace the tires should I put a silicone sealant around the hole and threads? Just annoying to air up both tires every 3-4 months. .Thanks. Also, was wondering about using those ratchet style hand clamps to squash the tire together to give you room. They should flatten the tire. How did yours turn out? Thanks. 🙂
We’ll I am not a professional when it comes to tires. I would probably have to defer that question to a tire shop about the silicone. On mine the gasket on the valve seems to work and I haven’t had that problem with loosing air. Only thing I can think you may want to do is to clean the valve stem area of the rim prior to installing the valve stem to make sure no debris is causing the gasket not to seal properly. I haven’t used the ratchet strap method but have seen where people have used zip ties in reference to installing the tire. I tried the zip ties but I didn’t have strong enough ones and mine kept breaking.
@@cheapjoker3321 Oh yes, I made sure the rim and hole and tire were entirely clean. It is not a ratchet strap. It is a ratchet clamp. They have them in homedepot Here they are. www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Medium-and-Large-Trigger-Clamp-4-Pack-DWHT83196/205086878
Hi , do you recommend using locktite red color on your nut(valve stem)?
I used blue.
Why don't these seemingly better valve stems come on wheels from the factory? Potential sealing issue at the gasket over time? Or possible loosening at the threads? Don't some bikes come with these style stems from the factory?
I haven’t heard anyone talk about the newer Harley’s have these. That is good question.
This is an interesting mod, the angled stems are rare because most people don't bother to change the straight ones for those.
I was checking my front wheel pressure and it didn’t stop releasing air after like why did that happen
Only thing I can think of is maybe the valve got stuck in the release mode after you checked for air pressure.
And you need to re-balance the wheel... Right?
Good question. I didn’t think that there may be a significant weight difference between the two valves causing the wheel to become unbalanced. I would suppose if you could balance it before installing the wheel that would be a good idea.
@@cheapjoker3321 I was thinking more that you broke the bead on both sides, you tire may have moved around.... Edit... Oh yeah, I didn't even think about the weight difference between the old rubber valve and these new ones.
@@olheghtt That is true too. Very good point.
So, it's been 2 years. What do you think of the valve stems?
So far no problems. I can't complain. Allows easier access to the valve stem in my opinion.
They are great if you replace them or the oring every couple of times you change the tire. As soon as the gasket rots out they are useless and it's a massive pia to unmount the tire because your valve stem leaks. Easier to replace normal stems every go imo.
@@cheapjoker3321 Did you have to take off an extra gasket on the new stem to get it to fit? I had to do this and i am wondering if that was the correct move.
Joel, I didn’t have to take off any gaskets on my new valve stem. The gasket on this valve stem was fitted around the threads and expanded out like a washer. I just removed the nut and inserted the valves stem into the rim.
@@cheapjoker3321 thanks! Im thinking it may have been a protector because if I left it on there there would be barely any threads to catch while installing. Seems to be working right now but makes me nervous chucking parts it came with. 2 wheels up.
Way too long - too much unnecessary comment - plus not a decent way to control tire. Having to break other side of tire is rediculous. Just use a clamp to hold the tire. Look at other post on this subject and lean how to really do it.
Thanks for commenting. I will concede that the video was too long. Reference to not controlling the tire, not sure what the issue was, but ok. Reference to why I didn’t use a clamp, I didn’t anticipate needing one. When I realized I needed more room, I did not have a clamp on hand that would work with this particular application. I know, they are relatively cheap and I could have gotten one at my local hardware store. Time it would have taken me to go pick one up; it would have been close to an hour, so I just worked with what I had. I’ll definitely try the clamp next time to see if I can get enough room for a wrench or socket. Who knows maybe make a shorter video (laugh). Thanks for the constructive criticism and advice.
