Good luck getting it onto the valve on the rear tire of an '09 SEUC.

They sure do make that valve hard to get to. I think that as I approach the need for another rear tire, I will start looking around to see if there are any angled valve stems available that will work there. I assume that shouldn't be much of a problem finding one that will work. But as I was looking at a few on some different websites, there were some valve stems noted as specifically being for motorcycles. Are they different? An angled valve stem sure would make life a lot easier on the rear.

I carry a tire plug kit and a portable air compressor in my saddle bag. I've had to use it once because of a sheet metal screw in the rear tire. As soon as I could, I took the bike in and got the tire replaced. I would never ride my bike with a patched/plugged tire on it. Besides, as long as you have some useable tire tread left and have the wheel/tire warranty (which I do) the tire is replaced free.
