The flat tire repair kit provided with your bike can make a quick and
simple repair to most punctures. An internal patch is the ideal method for
a more permanent repair, but is not practical on the roadside. An inner
tube may also be retrofitted but negates the future possibility of repair by
plug.
Checking Tires for Condition and Foreign Objects
Regularly inspect your tires for signs of damage or wear such as penetra-
tion by nails and other sharp objects, objects stuck in tread grooves,
pinched or bulged sidewalls, cracking, delamination, and flat-spotted or
worn-through tread. Minimum tread depth is reached when the Tread
Wear Indicators (at points marked “TWI” on the sidewalls near the tread,
often with a small triangle) are level with the tread surface.
Most small punctures to the tread area can be safely plugged or patched
however damage to the sidewall areas cannot be safely repaired and the
tire must be replaced.
WARNING!
Replace only with an equivalent-size tire designed and rated
specifically for 2-wheeled motorcycle and scooter applications.
Checking the Tire Valve
The most common problem with a tire valve is a loose valve core, which
is the spring-loaded part inside the valve tube. It can be tightened or
replaced by use of a standard automotive Schrader valve tool.
Other valve leaks can occur due to tears of the rubber valve body. Repair
is only by replacement and should be referred to your MOTORINO™
dealer or a competent tire specialist. In most cases, the wheel should not
need to be removed from the bike to replace the stem.
Using the Supplied Tubeless Tire Plug Kit
Included with each new MOTORINO™ is a tubeless tire plug kit that is
capable of repairing small punctures to the tread area of the tire, without
having to remove the tire from the rim. However, a tire with any dam-
age to the sidewall area or a slash cannot be safely repaired and must be
replaced.
