Anyone have a good link to valve stems for tubeless wheels? (Stock Enkei 7-spoke rims).
Stem part is 16126-1136
I checked Z1 and couldn't find anything.

Loud, take an old valve stem to any tire store or automotive jobber, & ask for two. rubber valve stems generally come in two heights, steel in straight & 90 degree bends,occasionally w/ different rim hole diameters. you'll be fine. G

Thanks, will the rubber ones work even though the stock ones are threaded steel?

They can be purchased through www.DennisKirk.com but they are surprizingly pricey. :blink:

I was just checking them out the other day in my Dennis Kirk catalog. While expensive there are may styles to choose from

You might try asking at a cycle shop - if there's one nearby. Sometimes they give stuff like that away.

I don't actually need one from what I can tell, but everytime I go to get a tire changed, they say they don't have that type of stem and it should be replaced. I always tell them to change the tire without changing the stem and it hasn't been a problem.

However, the rubber seals are now showing signs of cracking, but are not yet leaking. Maybe I just need the o-ring or whatever type of seal is on there, but I suspect the shop will want to change the entire stem and I want to have one on hand just in case. So will a regular, rubber car stem work?

I don't have a bare wheel to even check the actual hole diameter.

i know this is a really old post but did u ever happen to change the vavle stem i need to replace my front one? and would like to go with a right angled valve stem. do u happen to remember the hole size?

I have seen some on eBay. Trick ones that are at a 90. I do not know the stem size though. Call a Kaw dealer they would be able to tell you the size I bet.
Here is the 90 I was talking about.

i found this one and i wonder if it will fit. i will give a dealer a call though

I basically forgot about it... the weather must have gotten better and I went riding.

I've had a couple tires replaced since, and still haven't had an issue using the old ones.

TO find the hole size, maybe you can unscrew the locknut and just push the stem into the tire. Obviously you won't be able to get it back out without removing the tire.

pm your address i'll send you a couple styles I work at a tire store LOL or just stop by a tire shop we don't charge a guy needing a couple rubber stems. have plain short long and 2 different chrome styles on hand usually
