Taking Care of the Unexpected
How you handle a flat tire on the trail depends
on how serious the tube or tire damage is, and
what tools and supplies you have with you.
If you have a slow leak or a minor puncture,
there are two ways to try making a temporary
repair:
• Use an aerosol tire sealer to seal the puncture
and inflate the tube. (This can be done
without removing the tire or wheel.)
• Use a tube patch kit to repair the puncture.
(This requires removing the tire.)
If the leak is more serious, or a temporary
repair doesn’t hold, the tube must be replaced.
The tire will also need to be replaced if it is
damaged (page 96). Replacing a tube or tire
involves removing and re-installing the wheel
If you are unable to repair a flat tire on the trail,
you will need to push the motorcycle back to
your base or send for help. We strongly
recommend that you do not try to ride with a
flat tire. The motorcycle will be hard to handle,
and if the tire comes off the rim, it may lock up
the wheel and cause you to crash.
