Be prepared to continue using your RU inner tube. Desser=99s valve ste
m is to short. They told me I could use a truck extension. Did not work with
out remming out the rim. Was not comfortable with that.
That was 4 years ago. No issues with the old inner tube so far. They did not
Red dot the heavy side for balancing so had to balance it. Otherwise will v
ibrate your eye teeth.

The truck extension works just fine, for inflating the tire. Remove it
when you are finished with the inflation process, and then install the
valve stem cap.
The valve stem IS a bit short, so one has to thread on the extension for
filling. I used 50 PSI, but 35 to 50 PSI would work just fine.
Also, when used on a Yak 55, 19 mm wheel bearings are used. This is the
identical bearing used on some BMW motorcycles for the front wheel. A good
BMW parts guy can likely order them for you, and a good BMW mechanic can
change the races in your wheel.
