If You Have a Flat Tire,

A temporary repair can sometimes be made in an emergency situation.
However, since a temporary repair may not hold, you must ride very
slowly, preferably without any cargo, and have the tire replaced or
permanently repaired as soon as possible. (For more information on
temporary repairs, see
page .)
A tire that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have lower
speed and performance limits than a new or undamaged tire.
If you have a tire professionally repaired at a non-Honda facility, we
recommend that you have the work checked by your Honda dealer.
A permanent repair, such as an internal plug patch, can be made if a tire
has only a small puncture in the tread area. However you may not be
able to safely carry as much weight. If you choose to have a tire repaired,
be sure the repair work is performed by a professional.
