- they must be removed. At high speeds , they will tear off.

I am sure no GTR owners ride there bikes at high speeds? What can you be thinking.

I do carry a angled valve extension, like most of us do..! but don't leave it on :nono: the centrifugal force will most likely damaged your tyre sensor valve stem, or even the sensor it self. it could also put your wheel balance out. there handy to have, but just keep it in your glove box :smiley:

You definitely should not leave the valve extension on.

Otherwise we'd have a thread on the line of "my TPS just got ripped a new asshole"
