MOTORCYCLE INNER TUBES
Motorcycle Inner Tubes: Everything You Need to Know
Types of Motorcycle Inner Tubes
Inner tubes are essential for tube-type (TT) motorcycle tires, providing the air chamber that supports the tire structure and maintains proper pressure.
ADVANTAGES:
✓ Heavy-duty construction for high load capacity and durability
✓ Flatter tread profile for enhanced stability and even wear
✓ Puncture-resistant compounds for reliable commercial use
Considerations:
ADVANTAGES:
✓ Excellent air retention, holds pressure longer
✓ Good resistance to ozone and weathering
✓ Lighter weight compared to natural rubber
Considerations:
Valve Types and Applications
TR4 - Standard Straight metal valve
Most common valve type for motorcycles. Suitable for standard wheels and applications.The TR4 is a straight metal valve, typically with threads and two locking nuts. The key function of this design is to prevent the valve from being pulled back into the rim due to tire creep and deformation when the tire is running at low pressure. Suitable for wheel rim holes: Suitable for smaller wheel rim holes with a diameter of about 8 mm.
TR13 - Straight Rubber Valve
The TR13 is one of the most common valve types, featuring a straight rubber stem. It's used in a wide range of applications, from passenger cars and light trucks to motorcycles. Rim Compatibility: Suitable for rims with a diameter of approximately 0.453 inches (11.5 mm).
TR87/JS87: 90-Degree Bent Metal Valve
The TR87 and JS87 are distinctive bent metal valves with a 90-degree bend in the valve stem. This design primarily addresses inflation convenience issues with certain rims or limited installation space. For example, on small wheels or those with complex hub structures, a straight valve may have difficulty reaching the inflation tip. Rim Hole Compatibility: Suitable for rim holes with a diameter of approximately 0.453 inches (11.5 mm).

Valve Types for Bicycles
Schrader Valve (AV)
American valve, similar to car tires. Wide compatibility with pumps and gauges.
Presta Valve (FV)
French valve, narrower design. Common on road bikes and high-pressure applications.
Dunlop Valve (DV)
Woods valve, popular in Asia and Europe. Simple design with good reliability.
MAINTENANCE
Tire & Tube Maintenance Tips
Regular Pressure Checks
Check tire pressure weekly. Proper inflation extends tire life and improves performance.
Visual Inspections
Look for cuts, punctures, or unusual wear patterns before each ride.
Rotation & Replacement
Rotate tires regularly and replace when tread depth reaches wear indicators.
Storage Conditions
Store in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
