This must be a scooter thing. I've never seen it mentioned in motorcycle circles and on the touring model you definitely can't get the valve near the top to check.
Oh well, that's why I'm here, to learn.

There is definitely something wrong with your schrader valves if they leak when you remove the cap. That should never happen and from what I have read the beads shouldn't affect them.

Infact the car I used for my driving test was a '57 Buick four door Reviera that had brown below the chrome and the rest, including interior, was PINK. I drove that car for almost a year until I bought my Ford. Which was Sea Foam Green.

The carbs on my Honda CL360 and CB750K5 would turn to ice blocks if I ran them at 35F. Then I would shut down and let the engine heat thaw them, restart and go for a while again. On the 750 the second winter saw Weber carbs.

If you don't have a wrench big enough a large slip joint pliers will work on the larger, bottom, nut and maybe even the smaller lock nut. It can be used for many other things as well so, it' can be a good investment.
