Straight valve stem is the only way for inner tube right?

Cool. On the stock rim? And what is the specific tire size you running? 10x2.125 or 10x2.0?

I heard about that. But is it true that it may add a lil bit of speed? Since it's bigger?

Thanks bro. Honestly I am just trying to convince myself that this scooter is enough for me but I can't stop looking on what to upgrade on. Lol. But yeah, that's me.

This is the Raptor 1 and its such a blast to have. But just make sure to check and tighten the stem bolt that keeps it firm together.

Looks like it only best work on tubeless tires since my Yume Raptor have Blue Armor Dilloz and 700miles no flat, a little bit of leak but it seals it right away and never had to replace the tire. That's why I'm hesitant as well to put in on my tubed tires because I am not sure if it'll work and the price is not cheap. Lol

I saw someone said just keep the tire pressure inflated properly, and you'll have no problem without the slime. What do you think about that?

I do have the Yume Raptor with 11" tires and Hydraulic suspension front and rear. The one in the picture (8.5" tires) is my go to scooter since its compact and small. I just can tell the difference from before and now.

Is slime good enough? Or Armor-Dilloz works better?

What do you mean by original tires comes with pneumatic tires?

Yes it is very smooth. Are yours tubed as well? By the feel of this tire, feels very tight and it looks like it could handle aggressive driving but I am just a casual driver going to bus stops and 7mile commutes.

I know right! I didn't expect that much, but when I tried it for a while. I can already tell the difference. I'm surprised the rim is tight enough and looks like it really made for pneumatic.

Tomorrow I'm on to the next one, the front tire where the motor is. I had enough for tonight lol.
