Since When ???

ok...this may sound stupid but when did new bikes start comming from the factory w/o a nut on the inner tube @ the top side of the rim? :

You don't want a nut there. If you tighten that down and the tire slips around the rim at all, it will rip the valve stem out of the tube. If you leave it loose (like the Hondas come with a rubber grommet to keep dirt out and hold the stem out), you can see if the tire slips because the valve stem will lean one way or the other.

Welcome to the site :cool:

Leave it to Gomer to know which nut to leave off a motorcycle. ;)

Be sure and go to your User CP and update information relating to your location, type of riding, etc. After that grab a spot on the couch and tell us a bit about yourself. How long you have been riding, what kind of riding you prefer, where you are located, etc. We will do our best to hook you up with some fellow dirt bike enthusiasts.

Again, welcome to the site, and shout if you have any questions!
