Tyre Puncture; Tube Repair And Replacement - Honda TMX SUPREMO Series Owner's Manual

Tyre Puncture

Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel
requires special tools and technical expertise.
We recommend you have this type of service
performed by your dealer.
After an emergency repair, always have the
tyre inspected/replaced by your dealer.

Tube Repair and Replacement

If a tube is punctured or damaged, you should
replace it as soon as possible. A tube that is
repaired may not have the same reliability as a
new one, and it may fail while you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by
patching a tube or using an aerosol sealant,
ride cautiously at reduced speed and have the
tube replaced before you ride again. Anytime
a tube is replaced, the tyre should be carefully
inspected as described.

If you must ride with a temporary tyre or
tube repair, ride slowly and carefully and
do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) until
the tyre or tube is replaced.
Removing Wheels
Follow these procedures if you need to
remove a wheel in order to repair a puncture.
