Locating malfunctions
Repairing a fl at tyre or changing a tyre requires
special tools and technical experience. We
recommend that this type of service be performed
by your dealer.
After an emergency repair, have your tyre / wheel
inspected by your dealer.
Tube repair and replacement
If you puncture a tyre or damage an inner tube, it
must be replaced as soon as possible. A tube that is
repaired may not have the same reliability as a new
one, and it may fail while you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by patching
a tube or using an aerosol sealant, ride cautiously
at reduced speed and replace the tube before you
ride again.
The tyre must be carefully inspected as described
every time the tube is replaced.

WARNING
It can be hazardous to ride the
motorcycle with a temporary repair of
the tyre or inner tube. If the temporary
repair fails, you can have an accident
in which you could be seriously hurt or
even killed.
If you must ride with a tyre or inner
tube that has been temporarily
repaired, ride slowly and be careful
not to exceed 50 km/h until the tyre is
replaced.
