Thin Socket required
Used on Ninja ZX-25R.
In addition to replacing the Tire by hand, we replaced the Valve with an L-shaped Valve.
It may be just Kawasaki, but the installation is tough.
The hole diameter for the Valve of OEMWheel is too narrow to use the Socket of normal Tool.
I tighten a 14mm nut, but the wheel hole diameter is probably less than 19mm and the socket will not fit.
I measured the outer diameter of the Socket and it is about 20mm.
It is impossible to tighten without using a thin 14mm Socket with an outside diameter of 19mm or less.
I had no choice but to lightly fix the Nut with Spanner without turning the Nut and turn the L-shaped ValveBody to tighten it.
When tightening, a thin layer of silicon grease must be applied to the rubber portion of the valve, otherwise the rubber will be twisted and deformed.
Note that if the Rubber is twisted and deformed, it can cause air leaks.
I was forced to prepare a small socket with an outer diameter for the next work, so I looked around on the Net for a lot of things.
I had no choice but to purchase a 14mm plug socket with an outer diameter of 18mm because there are no normal thin sockets available.
