Before attempting to use the kit, be sure you have all three parts in-hand
– a puncture prep tool (looks like an awl), a plug needle tool (looks like a
large sewing needle with a handle), and a plug rope (looks like a gooey
licorice stick, there are usually 5 in a kit and refills can be found at most
auto parts stores). Support the bike on firm, level ground using the main
stand. Objects that cause flats are usually sharp, so be careful.
Also, wear
eye protection since things can unexpectedly go flying when force
and/or air pressure are involved.
Locate the puncture and remove the nail or other foreign object. 1.
Prepare the puncture for the plug by inserting the prep tool, using all 2.
necessary force and slowly twisting the handle clockwise at all times.
When the tool is fully through the tread, continue to twist it clock-
wise while withdrawing the tool.
Install the plug by threading one of the plug ropes through the head
3.
of the needle tool so that the needle is in the middle of the rope.
Insert the needle tool into the puncture until the rope ends protrude
no more than one inch but not less than 1/2”. Withdraw the needle
tool straight back. DO NOT TWIST the needle tool at any time during
insertion or removal. Be prepared to exert significant force and brace
yourself and the bike accordingly.
Re-inflate the tire. Listen/check for leaks. Trim the plug flush with the
4.
tread using side cutters (as soon as it’s convenient).
Re-Seating a Tire
In the absence of a high-volume supply of compressed air, a generic
nylon-web band-clamp or ratcheting cargo strap can be used. The idea
is to place the clamp’s band all the way around and centred on the tire
tread and then tighten it so that the tire’s sidewalls and beads are pushed
outward and into contact with the rim to seal enough for air pressure to
finally force the tire’s beads fully back into the lips of the rim.
Preemptive Tire Sealant
As a preemptive measure, your MOTORINO™ dealer can install a product
which is capable of nearly immediately sealing a puncture, often without
you even noticing. Since it remains a liquid until it’s forced out of a leak, it
also acts as a kind of dynamic balancer, potentially making your bike run
even smoother.
