FAQs
What type of valve does this inner tube have?
This inner tube features a straight Schrader valve, also known as a 'car type' valve, which is compatible with standard air compressors and tire gauges.
What does '60/100-14' mean for a tire size?
'60/100-14' refers to the tire's dimensions: '60' is the section width in millimeters, '100' is the aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width), and '14' is the rim diameter in inches.
Can I use this inner tube on a bicycle?
No, this inner tube is specifically designed for motorcycles with the 60/100-14 tire size and is not compatible with bicycle rims or tire sizes.
How do I know if this inner tube will fit my motorcycle?
You need to check the sidewall of your current motorcycle tire. If it lists the size as 60/100-14, this inner tube should be compatible. Always confirm with your motorcycle manufacturer's specifications if unsure.
Is this inner tube suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
While durable for general use, it is designed for standard street and light off-road motorcycle applications. For extreme conditions or high-performance racing, specialized tubes might be recommended.
What is the difference between butyl rubber and other inner tube materials?
Butyl rubber is a common synthetic rubber known for its excellent air-retention properties and durability, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for most motorcycle applications.
Troubleshooting
Inner tube does not hold air after installation
Check for a secure fit of the valve stem in the rim hole. Ensure the tire bead is properly seated on the rim all the way around. Inspect the inner tube for any visible punctures or damage incurred during installation. Re-verify the tire size compatibility.
Difficulty mounting the tire after inserting the tube
Ensure the inner tube is only slightly inflated to give it shape, not fully inflated. Work the tire onto the rim slowly and evenly, starting opposite the valve. Avoid pinching the inner tube between the tire bead and the rim. Lubricating the tire bead can sometimes help.
Valve stem leaks air
Ensure the valve stem is straight and not bent. Check that the valve core is tightened properly. If the leak persists, the valve stem may be damaged and the inner tube may need replacement.
