Yes, on most high pressure PRESTA valves ( non automobile type valve ) tires *It Is A Very Good Habit To Just Give The Valve A Very Brief *POP* with a finger so that a very short 'PSST' sound is heard.

This is very important in that it breaks the *glueing effect* that occurs between the valve sealing gasket and the internal valve seat.
