Hi

Last week I gave the FZR600 a wash. Heard a noise of air escaping so poked the tyre valve on the back wheel only to have it split wide open. Had a new valve put on yesterday and put it back on the bike. Went to adjust the tyre pressures and found the same happened with the front.

You can see how normal it looks here.

Watch out, as (from experience) having a valve split while you are riding is not fun.

All the best

Keith
