| Ariete's 90 Degree Aluminum Valve Stems are designed for motorcycle tubeless tires. The 11.3mm Valve Stems are designed for most Metric (Japanese) OEM (stock) wheels. They are made in Italy and weigh only 12g per valve stem. The valve stem is designed for easy access for maintaining tire pressure in your motorcycle tires. The Ariete Aluminum Valve Stem makes it easy to check your tire's air pressure and add air when needed.
ADVANTAGES of 90 DEGREE VALVE STEM:
-- It is fixed to the rim with a lock nut, therefore it cannot bend nor be expelled from the rim. -- It need not to be replaced every time the tyre is changed. -- The angled quill reduces the effect of centrifugal force, which tends to fling the valve core outwards in a conventional valve, leading to loss of pressure in the tyre. -- It completely solves the problem of access for inflation.
ASSEMBLY: 1. Make sure the valve housing inside the rim is of the correct type 2. Carefully clean the valve housing inside the rim (hole and surrounding area) 3 .Insert the valve in the rim housing, taking care not to damage the external gasket
4. Attach the nut on the inside of the rim to the valve stem threaded body
5. Screw the nut fully on using the correct tool and torque spec (Locking torque 7:10Nm)*
*WARNING!!! Do not use an extension to the lever of the tool provided: excessive locking torque may crack or break the valve stem. If the valve is incorrectly fitted, it may be violently ejected by air pressure. TUV APPROVED (TA-MAN-9084/03)
