Posted July 20, 201212 yr Anyone know if tubeless tyre valves can be replaced without removing the tyre? Front tire Size: 120/70 Rear tire Size: 160/60
July 20, 201212 yr Moderator yes the vslve (inner) can be replaced, just buy some new ones and a valve tool from a car spares outlet
July 21, 201212 yr Moderator Tubless valves are normally pulled in from the inside to the outside, so no. A decent tyre fitter could remove the tyres, change the valves and repace the tyres but it would be a relatively high cost for what you would get.
July 21, 201212 yr Author Thank's DirtyDT, I'm trying to avoid the cost you mentioned and I won't need tyres replace for some time. The advantage was for angled valves, front wheel valve awkward to get at. Cheer's.
July 21, 201212 yr Moderator easier and cheaper get one of these and fit when you need to alter tyre pressures http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHROME-90-DEG-DEGREE-MOTORCYCLE-TYRE-VALVE-ADAPTOR-ADAPTER-EXTENSION-RIGHT-ANGLE-/290675494362?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item43ad9c0dda

July 21, 201212 yr Moderator A cryptic question to start with. Make sure they don't affect the wheel balancing.
July 21, 201212 yr Author A cryptic question to start with. Make sure they don't affect the wheel balancing. Good one. I will only use to check and inflate. Ta.
July 23, 201212 yr Author One other thing. Does anyone think the pressure reading would be affected by going thru tyre valve and adaptor?
July 23, 201212 yr Moderator Definetly only use em for checking and inflating , slightly over inflate and adjust pressure afterwards as you lose a little air removing the adapter , i do it all the time
