Tyre Puncture

Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel 
requires special tools and technical expertise. 
We recommend you have this type of service 
performed by your dealer.
After an emergency repair, always have the 
tyre inspected/replaced by your dealer.

Emergency Repair Using a Tyre 
Repair Kit

If your tyre has a minor puncture, you can 
make an emergency repair using a tubeless 
tyre repair kit.
Follow the instructions provided with the 
emergency tyre repair kit.
Riding your motorcycle with a temporary tyre 
repair is very risky. Do not exceed 50 km/h 
(30 mph). Have the tyre replaced by your 
dealer as soon as possible.

Removing Wheels

Follow these procedures if you need to 
remove a wheel in order to repair a puncture.

WARNING

Riding your motorcycle with a 
temporary tyre repair can be risky. If 
the temporary repair fails, you can 
crash and be seriously injured or 
killed.

If you must ride with a temporary tyre 
repair, ride slowly and carefully and 
do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) until 
the tyre is replaced.
