Riding your motorcycle with a
temporary tire 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 tire
repair, ride slowly and carefully until
the tire is permanently repaired or
replaced.

Taking Care of the Unexpected

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

). Replacing a tube or tire

involves removing and re-installing the wheel
(pages

,

).

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.
