250EX... Mounting a wheel/tire back up

[kick]

On the rear axle... Should the valve stems be opposite from each other (to preserve some type of balance) or does it matter?

I just took off my right rear wheel (tire needed to be plugged) and just slapped it on once it was ready. Out of curiosity, I looked at my other new 250EX and the valve stems are exactly opposite from each other on the rear. - That's what made me wonder if there was a reason.

Thanks :)

it shouldn't hurt anything, i dont see how it would affect anything

atv tires are so far out of balance to begin with that valve stems won't make the slightest difference.


have you ever slapped an atv wheel/tire on a balancing machine:eek2: it's surprising:D

so... that means even though my quad is aligned and it still pulls with the same air pressure in both rear tires the pulling is because of bad manufacturing?:blah:

I know they are, that's why I got to thinking that maybe they need all the help they can get....
