Honda VT750C 2005 Shadow Aero Owner's Manual page 162

Riding your motorcycle with a
temporary tire or tube 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 and do not exceed 30
mph (50 km/h) until the tire and
tube are replaced.
Due to the uncertainty of any temporary
repair, you should ride slowly (not over 30
mph, 50 km/h) and carefully (preferably
without a passenger or cargo) until the tire
and tube are replaced. Stop frequently and
If You Have a Flat Tire
check the air pressure. If the tire is losing
pressure, it may be unsafe to continue
riding. As the tire gets low, it will affect
the handling of your motorcycle
(especially with a passenger and cargo)
and it may overheat and blow out.
Should You Repair or Replace a
Tire or Tube?
We strongly recommend that you replace,
not repair, any tire or tube that is
punctured or damaged, even if the tire has
only a minor puncture. For a full
discussion of repairs and replacement, see
