There's going to be a real obvious answer to this but bugg*red if I can figure it out. Need to inflate the front tire on my bandit (only had it a couple of weeks, first bike ) but due to the fronts disc I can't get the tire inflator attached. I've tried several local garages but all have the same type inflator !!!! is there some sort of adaptor you can buy ???? or some really clever trick ???

you probably can do it if you try - you need top put the part of the inflator between the discs,then you'll find you can get onto the valve.if not,there are little 90 degree adaptors you can buy for 3 quid that you screw onto the valve and then put the inflator onto that.don't leave it on afterwards though,it could strain the valve with rotation and put the wheel out of balance.

really useful club here, both Now you want to hit me, you can get a valve adapter, not worth it, but I found it easiest to make sure front wheel is stopped with valve at 45 degrees from the road and twist the inflator between the discs.Will respond to your PM, just back from two dsya in the smoke whay tube strike
