Best performance enhancement for �4!
 

I saw WeaveMcQuilt with one of these L extensions which allows you too easily use the air inflating machines at fuel stations. I bought one last week at the KTM (don't ask) shop as it was only �4. Shock horror when I noticed I've been riding with my back tyre only half inflated for months. How much fuel have I wasted in this time? I've changed sprockets and chain, cleaned my air filter, replaced my spark plug (yes after 5 years) and none of these transformed my bike like the correct amount of air in my tyres. And another shock-horror after discovering my Yamaha is not Japanese made, my NGK spark plug is Indian! Whats the world coming to?

Especially useful for the Ten, as it's a sod to get a garage air line on the rear. Steve

I've had one of the L shaped air valves for years...sitting on a shelf!..dohh.

On a similar theme I always check tyre pressures when there cold (due to air expanding when warm/hot) and use a Halfords digital gauge.

Cost around �6.00 and was a 'recommended buy' when tested by RIDE a few years ago.

I keep meaning to buy one of the L valves but I've been told to take it off after doing pressures for balancing purposes

I don't leave it on. Just screw it on and off when pumping. That way you only buy one

Great tip. It's the little things that can make the biggest difference.

Excellent, I'll really have to get the finger out and get one ordered
