I recently took my FJ1200 for its annual MOT (UK vehicle
inspection test) the bike passed ok but I was advised that the rear tyre valve
had a split in it. I fit my own tubeless tyres but don't routinely replace the
valve. If this failed on the road there would be no way to do a repair. So I
bought some valves and swapped it this evening. I remove the wheel & broke
the bead. I could then access the valve inside the wheel. The valve is tight
fit and I had to cut it out. I replaced the valve by pulling it through with a
valve tool. At a cost of 30 pence each I'll replace the valve at
each tyre change in the future.
