i checked my tyre pressures & topped up,would it be safe to use angled valve extension's & leave them in situ.or should i need to remove them.ie not leave them on the valve's.

- 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.

Ducati owner now but I used to have a Black one, the fastest version.

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:
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

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"
