KYMCO XCITING 500Ri ABS Owner's Manual page 111

Failure to follow these instructions about tubeless tires may result in an accident
due to tire failure. Tubeless tires require different service procedures than tube
tires.
!
Tubeless tires require an air-tight seal between the tire bead and wheel rim.
Special tire irons and rim protectors or a specialized tire mounting machine must
be used for removing and installing tires to prevent tire or rim damage which could
result in an air leak.
!
Repair puncture in tubeless tires by removing the tire and applying an internal
patch.
!
Do not use an external repair plug to repair a puncture since the plug may work
loose as a result of the cornering forces experienced in a scooter tire.
!
After repairing a tire, do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the first 24 hours, 130
km/h (80 mph) thereafter. This is to avoid excessive heat build-up which could
result in a tire repair failure and tire deflation.
!
Replace the tire if it is punctured in the sidewall area, or if a puncture in the tread
area is larger than 6 mm (3/16 in). These punctures cannot be repaired adequately.
