[QUOTE="HONDA convert, post: 1465180, member: 98488"] Please advise as I recently had local Yamaha shop install new Dunlop RS III tires and Hawkshead brand T valve stems on 2018 FJR. I have been doing some test rides to try new tires, now total of 80km/50 miles. Today, used conventional tire pressure gauge to check levels against the values shown by TPMS. I find both valve stems are loose with audible leaking, greatest in the rear. The T stems are rotatable and seemed well secured prior to today. Now the rear stem will rock 3-4 mm either direction which increases the leakage. Upon installation I asked for some locktite to be applied to the double nut system on the inside of the rim. I now doubt this request was followed. Please comment on personal experiences with the T valve stems: installation, need for locktite, experience with loosening, how to proceed from this point with resolving the problem [/QUOTE]
