[@peterjordan7324]

Matt you are 100 per cent correct about the valve stem ,a motorcycle has a short valve stem because of the forces put on it when the wheel is in motion. That is why you should never fit a car valve stem to a motorcycle because they are longer and the g force can bend the valve over causing it to leak air or worst case scenario break of like that one did.

[@TFA-01]

Just as you asked, I used to be a tyre fitter. We would use the rim sealant on the rim only, and usually a tire lube on the tyre. Only to help it get on, or runflats (which are a bastartd) or tight cheaper tyres etc. That said we did also use the sealant on the valve seals. I did help in the long run as most people think they should get a million miles from a tyre.and this usually helped a bit when ally corrosion started to occur.

[@IanParr87]

You can see the rusty pad shape on right disc. This bike hasn't moved in ages. I used to ride all year round b4 a got the car test and my brakes were never in this shape.

[@inevespace]

I'm not sure, but according how he installs calipers, looks like the right disk is for front brake only and left one works in combination with rear(this is why he uses foot lever). Maybe he uses only foot brake, there is type of riders who afraid front brake.

[@jesuschrist7169]

It's the copper grease mark 😂🤣😅

[@buzzman3200]

​@@inevespace I think they're linked brakes on these Hondas, so foot pedal would activate front and back

[@inevespace]

@@buzzman3200 yes, this is what I mean. But not clear if it the pedal activates both calipers or only one side

[@jediknight1294]

​@@inevespaceon that era of wing the rear pedal activates the front brake as well and I believe the lever applies rear brake also

[@tarouyamada2686]

The amount of cheap copies of Pacific valves is too damn high over here, rubber tears easily during installation or simply deteriorates way too quickly rather than lasting years. And yeah, the H2 valves are a popular replacement over here, "If it's good enough for 300km/h, it's good enough for my commuter" :D EDIT: The H2 valve has a blue compound, not on the valve thread, but pre-applied on the nut. Kawasaki probably knows someone will not follow the proper procedures 😅

[@stevenhoman6836]

[@LinkinMcOwnage]

Love how he has totally ignored the real diagnostic part of a leaky tyre. The oldest trick in the book - soapy water in a spray bottle. Wherever air is escaping it will bubble up. Usual culprits - dodgy rope plug repairs instead of of an internal mushroom plug. Split valve stems are a good one. And there's always the bead leaking from years of rubber buildup on the rim from tyre changes - that's why he was (poorly) using the wire wheel on the rim. And then there's plain old corrosion buildup on the bead causing it to leak.

[@bobgrant-beer3020]

Haha! Great stuff Mien Hairy Friend. It is funny to watch someone using a torque wrench, getting the lovely “CLICK” only to back off, tighten down again for another “CLICK” then go past the the click and tighten down even more. lol. 😂

[@11metalfan]

Good to see the missus is letting you have a decent and comfortable workplace. Temperature in the double digits! I'm barely getting there in Fahrenheit now

[@TheMotospot26]

I used to fit truck tyres, never used bead sealer, ever! If I remember correctly we were told not to use it because it can degrade the rubber, but never needed to either, if the tyre wouldn’t inflate or struggled to seal then the rim is usually ducked! He also is being way to greedy with his tyre levers which is why he’s struggling so much.

[@callandy100]

£60/hour seat upholsterer, just how much has he spent so far on that damned Harley? Whatever the total, it's ten times what it'll be worth when he's finished mauling it! Also, how does he get the rat bike so filthy when it's just stood in the workshop? Keep em coming, cheers, Andy.

[@jediknight1294]

I'm fairly sure he sprays it with grime to get shit to stick to make it look 'legit' 60 quid an hour isn't horrible for upholstering though it's hard work and the machines aren't cheap

[@r3g3d17]

I guess if you never wash your bike you can pretend it gets ridden a lot while the tender is plugged in all the time.

[@alanbell2156]

When he started heaving on those tyre levers at 24:30ish all I could think about was the left one flicking out and taking out an eyeball. Just horrific.

[@davidfaulds815]

A small but handy detail that bollocks missed on the 90° valve is that you face them on the opposite side of the bike from the kickstand.

[@mtogp46]

Those repairs on those roads are dangerous. Was in Florida on holiday a few years back and the roads had those repairs on them, one of the repairs was in the same direction as I was traveling, it had bubbled up so much that the car fell off the edge of the repair and jumped to the side, nearly shit myself. The roads are concreate sections and for some reason they use tarmac to fill in damaged parts, the heat makes the tarmac expand but the concreate does not expand so the tarmac turns into bumps.

[@danieljohannesjansenvanvuuren]

lol😂 I installed 90degree valve stems on my cbr and installed it 90degree outwards as there was no manual for them, after finishing the installation only to find out that it makes contact on the front calipers. Did some research and had to redo everything and clock them to 45degrees

[@Johnrockerldn]

would the weight of fancy valve cap add to valve stem breaking?

[@moslam7883]

the presta on my road bike (bicycle) came off with the dust cap last time I pumped the tires up, I wonder how much engineering actually goes into making these things strong enough to withstand various forces, I suppose it's all based of an old body of data without anyone experimenting with what happens if you put heavier dust caps on

[@grantmotox123]

the only rim i fit bead sealant to is a trials bike because its a tubeless setup running very low pressures. Sometimes 2-3psi - this guys a knob

[@bertbog5088]

Does he have different brake houses on different sides of the bike - looks like a braided on one side and standard on the other.

[@GTMarmot]

All he had to do was get a 90-degree valve stem adaptor, and fit it to the stubby straight tyre valve whenever he checked his tyre pressure or wanted to inflate.

[@alanbell2156]

Yeo. $5 off ebay for a brass one. Had mine for 10 years.

Some of the places where a live are charging £20 a tyre and you have to drop the wheels off and they will do them when they have time.Thankfully found somewhere that charges £5 a wheel and will do them straight away.

I had this happen on my bandit sat at 80mph in the outside lane of a duel carage way just passing a car leaning slightly to the left and the valve left my wheel nit going to lie it scared the hell out of me how I stayed on is anyone's guess and at the time I had metal dust caps

[@blipco5]

BTW, you can change your valve stem with the tire and wheel still on the bike. Use wood 2x4's and clamps. (I used large high quality slip-clamps). Squeeze the tire enough to get your fingers inside, (it’ll pop off the bead). Don’t drop any bits into the tire. I’ve used this method twice. It’s surprisingly easy to do. NOTE: I used a 90 degree brass stem of the type where you push it in from the back and the nut is outside the wheel. I also used a standard rubber stem for another wheel. Both go in from the back, or inside, or whatever you call it. 🍻

[@Keith24GB]

Yep,many years ago when I was young and stupid I put a set off led light Tyre valve caps on. It ripped the front one at 80ish mph on a straight, not recommended.

[@riddioughp]

“That was going to be a temporary fix for now” same sentence, “I thought it might last the life of the tire”

[@buzzman3200]

Hmm I've put a set of those Michelin (can't remember who makes them) valve caps that measure tyre pressure (read by matching key fob) and did wonder what extra force it would exert on the tyre valve stem. Basic plastic caps weigh 1 gram, the Michelin ones weigh 4 grams. You've get centripetal forces at high speed as well as air turbulence and drag. Is a 3 gram increase too much?

Because they can't have it point 0/180. They can collide with the brake caliper if they stick out enough

We call those repairs on roads “tar snakes” here in the US, and since no state here seems to care about real, actual road maintenance these days, that’s what passes for road repair. They can be smooth, but it really depends on how badly they were laid down by whatever underpaid, overworked road crew was working that day. Those things can also be really slick when it gets wet.

[@weaselman24]

Those things melt in the heat too. Put my best mate in hospital and almost cost him his leg.

[@W.Zoeller]

22:25 It’s been a while but I’ve read that the rear tire spinning on the rim is an issue for H2Rs that are ridden hard on track, hence the callout for no lubrication. I guess that’s the kind of grip you get from a nearly 400 quid tire, intense stuff. Also, as always Del was noticeably lighter on the torque wrench after your last video.

[@ldarm]

What a perfect machine 👌

[@macauleyc64]

It's brilliant how a bike wheel spins in it's tyre while it's going though gears 😮 id never have the balls to ride one

[@chrisdavidson911]

13:22 FINGERS!! I find it hard to believe the H2r vales are made special just for that, and they aren't generic off the shelf ones from a regular manufacturer, even if they're in Kawazaki's own packaging. Would've liked to see that guy's front valve just to see what nick that was in too.

[@PRB1098]

The best part of the video you missed was was when he put the re-covered seat in the boot of the car that he definitely doesn't own! P.S. How did you not notice the split rim protector, not protecting any rims?

If you have your wheels shot blasted and power coated you never have slow air loss unless you puncture the tyre

[@derekshlutz7248]

I bet Del doesn't ride this thing at all. He keeps it filthy on purpose to make it look like it's his "daily", but the rust on brake rotors clearly tells us it's just being pushed around the shop. Brand new tires confirm the story of his BS. He just wheels it out every once in a while to do his "maintenance" or other silly stuff. Puts the wheel spacer bone dry and rusty against the dust seal, but lubes the crap out of the pinch bolts LOL. Can't make this stuff up. It's his backup when he runs out of content ideas, "yeah, lets wheel out my trusty Goldwing that I 'ride' wink, on regular basis".

Aint ya watchin it Hooper? "Busy-body work" and then smears more grey mud on for next time, does he think he's protecting the alloy rims from corrosion?

[@YAMR1M]

We have had tyres going down at high speed simply due to shitty valve alloy caps which have no rubber O ring inside them. One of the magazine readers fitted some freebie valve caps (free with another magazine) to their bike and after a couple of 2 mile top speed runs the tyre had gone down too much to be ridden safely. Luckily we had a small compressor and stole valve caps off the photographers car to carry on the photo shoot. But even a cheap shitty valve cap can be a problem. I like the 90 degree valves but like you, I would rather fit quality ones and not just the cheap ones from evilBay or Busters etc.. Get good ones and DON'T put that sealant shit on them.. I have gone through a LOT of tyres over the years and never ever seen sealant crap used. Yes I have seen tyre soap used even with race bikes but never that shitty sealant stuff.

[@dannykimble7671]

The important surface that should have been cleaned was the outside of wheel where the seal sits, del didn’t show this . I wondered about the 45degrees recommendation from Kawasaki maybe it’s because a lot of forecourt equipment have 45 heads on them? Whoop whoop.

[@stevenhoman6836]

it is very del-like to clean the inside of his wheel but not the outside while paying particular attention to the area where the valve sits.

[@pillphil]

i put those stupid led valves on years ago. thought it was funny. they ripped the valve nearly in half and i got rid of them immediately

[@kevinhunter7436]

one of the top fails on bike mots is damaged tyre valves, due to sudden air loss in tyre it can cause accidents and has killed riders in the past. If I find heavy valve caps I remove them during mots put a standard one on check valve and tell customer not to use them. Why would you use bead seal on a bridgeport type valve(angle valve) come with own seal O-ring that just needs a little oil or soap on, if you have cleaned up the wheel why would you use bead seal again this product is only for bad wheels rough wheels when they leak between tyre and rim. Race bike tyre fitters use hairspray to prevent tyre loosing grip on track from using tyre soap. Any good bike fitter knows to always replace the tyre valve when fitting a new tyre. On the guy in USA he should have checked the valve when he checked the tyre pressures he might have noticed it was on its way out, good job it wasn't the front.
