Hello,

I just bought the Termoscud R151 leg cover. It has an anti flap SGAS air chamber. I want to inflate the air chamber and the instructions isn't clear or it's not working as I expected. It says to inflate to squeeze the tube while the valve cap is on. Is this correct? I am supposed to squeeze and hold it squeezed for a few minutes? Or do I need to keep squeezing it while the valve flap is in? I have tried both and I don't really notice much air in. Please help.y

By the way I have an ET4.

Regards, Ryann

you have to gently squeeze the neck of the tube whilst blowing in - there's a small one-way valve in there to stop air coming back out of the neck, which needs to be compressed in order for air to go in.

does anyone know if you can make a termoscud r153 leg cover for an ET work on an LX? LX calls for an r151, but a friend has an r153 to give me free. Can I modify it? Do I need to change anything?

Are these things recommended for use at 65mph, I.e., freeway riding.
