Good evening gents.

1) Got a flat on the weekend, suspected the valve was the problem, and I was right. Faulty valve spoiled a ride out. Now KTM replaced the rear tube. Is it possible to only replace the valve and reuse the tube as spare, or am I going to land myself in the shit? Am I better off lining the new tube with the old fecked one?  ???

2) I have two 275/300-21 size tubes (spare) for the front. The one is a "Vee Rubber" brand tube, and the other a Kenda. The kenda tube feels larger and thicker, is it possible that this is an Enduro (thick) tube? It says "durable and reliable" on the side of the packaging. Can't remember when I bought it or payed for it.  ;D

Some advice would be thoroughly appreciated!
