Hey guys,
Been a while since I posted here, but had a scare today and thought I would share my experience with others. I pulled the bike out of storage last week and gave it a quick once over, by checking and filling tire pressure, oil, lights and lubing everything. I proceded to take it on a spirited ride for a couple hours, and it felt and ran great.
Fast forward to today! I went out to take a ride and decided to check the tire pressure. I normally wouldn't check it a couple days after I just did, but decided to anyway(I know, check it every ride). While I was removing the valve cap the damn stem nearly twisted off in my hand, instantly deflating the rear tire. Two days ago I was traveling over 100 MPH on this tire, and that scared the crap out of me!
It's my fault because I'm on my original stems, and there is no excuse for that.
