So I ordered tires from Kawasaki Plaza, although they are a bit more expensive than the cheap stores.
Considering all the work involved in balancing the wheels, checking the bearings and axle shafts, greasing, etc., I thought it would be safer to have the work done according to the manual by an authorized dealer.
The tires have already been decided, but now we need to think about the air valve.
The Ninja 400, like many other motorcycles, comes standard with straight tire valves.
In most cases, it is not possible to check the air pressure and fill the air at the gas station because the front disc is a double disc, not to mention the rear disc.Sensitive to air pressure.So, I always keep this in my seat bag.
But to be honest, it was a pain in the ass. So I decided to use an L-shaped tire valve for my next tire change.
I think it was a BMW Tourer? There are some air valves that are integrated with the wheel, but I can't hope to find one. Since Kawasaki Plaza doesn't accept parts, I searched for information on L-shaped air valves so that they could order them for me. They are not that expensive.
But I looked at some of them, and the evaluation was not good. I thought there must be a reason why it's not adopted as a standard product even though it's not very expensive, so I continued to wander around the web and found thatI found several information that the head is shaken by centrifugal force, which causes the air to escape little by little and the rubber to deteriorate quickly.I did.
I see. I get it. That's why I'm going to use a straight valve again. ........
