Tyre Repair - Honda SH300 Owner's Manual

Tyre repair

If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you
should replace it not repair it. As discussed
below, a tyre that is repaired, either
temporarily or permanently will have lower
speed and performance limits than a new
tyre.
A temporary repair, such as an external
tubeless tyre plug may not be safe for
normal speeds and riding conditions. If a
temporary or emergency repair is made to a
tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously
to a dealer and have the tyre replaced. If
possible you should not carry a passenger
or cargo until a new tyre is installed.

Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with
a permanent internal patch plug, it will not
be as good as a new tyre.
You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
for the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph)
at any time thereafter. In addition you may
not be able to safely carry as much weight
as with a new tyre. Therefore, we strongly
recommend that you replace a damaged
tyre. If you choose to have the tyre repaired,
be sure the wheel is balanced before you
ride.
