    Morning all, the top right air valve fitting started spitting fork oil out the top. I put a tire valve stem cap on it. Does anyone know if the little valve is the same size as the ones found in tire valve stems. I was thinking of just unscrewing it and inserting one. On a Honda microfiche it only shows the nut/valve/cap as a unit and not just the interior guts. Seems ridiculous to me having to spend $50+ dollars when a couple will do.
    Thanks

    Should be a standard Schrader valve core available at any auto parts store.

    Yes, it's a standard Schreader valve core.

    Thanks for the replies. I thought it might be a standard valve but just wanted to be sure.
