How do I know if this is the correct tube for my motorcycle?
Check the sidewall of your current tire for the size designation (e.g., 2.75-18 or 100/90-18) and ensure it matches the specifications for this tube (250/275 - 18'').

Troubleshooting
Tube won't hold air after installation.
Check for pinching between the tire bead and rim. Ensure the valve stem is seated correctly in the rim hole. Inspect the tube for any visible punctures.
Difficulty mounting the tire onto the rim.
Ensure the tube is only slightly inflated, not fully. Use tire levers carefully to avoid damaging the tube. Ensure the wheel rim is clean and lubricated if necessary.
Valve stem leaks air.
Ensure the valve cap is tightened. Check the valve core for tightness; it can often be tightened with a small tool. If the leak persists, the tube may need replacement.
