Took tube out to check and removed and refitted valve, nothing obvious on tube so just fitted a new one.
As you say its not rocket science likley just the valve, but thought i would get a couple of spare tubes to keep just in case

Best long term solution is to convert your "Tube" tires into "Tubeless".
I converted mine (2017 ex) for over six (6) years already and never had any issue so far and replaced my tires 3 times already without any issue.
Many European 17' owners converted theirs through a supplier in Italy, however, I personally did my conversion with a 3M tape setup from a Japanese supplier "OUTEX" and bought through Mr Takeshi this site official sponsor.
If you search this site for tire conversion, you'll see my comments.

Also, I like and used the Bridgestone T32 series tires (original sizes) - Noisy but good grip on wet pavement.

I already have T32 on the rear wheel, OEM size.
