wheel valve stems what size?
« on: January 31, 2016, 06:48:28 PM »
I am putting on new tires and want to replace the 90 degree angled one on the front wheel.  I like the straight better, easier to check the air pressure.  Anyway, I know the wheels are made in Italy and the valve stems look smaller OD than what I am used to.

I did a little research and found there are generally 2 sizes 8.3mm and 11.3mm, I am thinking I need 8.3mm.  Just checking to see if anyone knows.  Cheers

I am sure takes 8.3mm or .357", but not easy to find.  Anyone know where to get some?  Everything I see is too fancy for me, just want straight short rubber pull through, should be approx $1 each.

I guess will install new tires and worry about replacing valve stems later.  I guess will check with Kymco next.  Cheers
