As soon as I get a new bike at the first tyre change I always have alloy 90 deg valves fitted. If you have never had them strongly recommend that you get them. Just makes life so much easier when testing and inflating the tyres.
 
I have one of these, fits the MT just fine:

And my MTB foot pump fits the standard valves OK too [emoji41]

Must make a hell of a racket that thing flying around at 100 mph lol. I also have something similar but with 90 deg valves they make it a lot easier to get it on and off. When I had my FZ1 the size of the front discs it was nearly impossible to fit anything on without shredding the back of your hands. Each to there own.

A professional tyre guy told me once that angled or long valves are dangerous on fast bikes since the centrigugal force may tear them.
Is there truth in this statement?
