Repairing punctured tyres
• Remove the valve cap.
•
Let the air escape completely out of the tyre by pressing the
pin in the centre of the valve firmly in.
•
Remove the 5 cylinder head screws (rear of wheel, 2).
• Remove the wheel rim halves from the wheel.
•
Remove the inner tube from the wheel.
•
Repair the inner tube and re-fit it, or replace it with a new
one.
NOTE
If the old inner tube has been repaired and is to be used again, and became wet during repair, it
is easier to replace it if it is lightly dusted with talcum powder beforehand.
NOTE
Refitting takes place in reverse order. Always ensure that the wheel is replaced on the same side
as it came from, and that it is facing in the same direction.
