I assume it came without instructions which are normally fairly clear.
So, you unscrew the knurled end of the plastic nozzle that fits on the valve. Inside there's a rubber ring and a small plastic piece. (I'm going from memory here, so this might not be exact)
Anyway, you remove both of them, reverse them, and put them back.
Re-attached the knurled end piece.
You should then find it'll fit your motorbike.
If that's not quite right, you'll have to study what you find inside the nozzle, and you have to reverse either both parts (plastic and rubber), or maybe just one of them. Maybe just the rubber piece.
Hope that helps.
If not, take it to a decent bicycle shop, they'll show you.
