Difficult rear valve stem access on RT - Can-Am Spyder Forums: The Y-factor Community

I'm looking for advise to ease pressure checking and airing the rear tire on our 2011 RT. I have 6 tire gauges of different configuration and the only one I can seat on the valve stem has a flexible hose. Getting an air chuck connected is equally difficult. I'm thinking of trying an angled extention. I searched the forum and didn't find any mention of this issue.

We're thinking of organizing a ryde to Valcourt to beat the pudding out of the "genius" who thought this one up...

While your at it throw in a few wacks for the involved oil level check process and adding coolant.

Oh we are definitely putting together a list of toics worth discussing with the bonehead...

I've had the best luck with the pressure gauge in the tool set. A real pain to get at, but seems to fit well.

Yeah... That's the one that I use as well...
But I'd STILL like to get my hands on that guy!
