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.
I

Duc
to the
uncertainty
of
any temporary
repair,
you should
ride
slowly
(not over 30
mph,
50 krn/h) and
carefully (preferably
without a passenger or cargo) until
the
tire
and tube are replaced. Stop
frequently
and

,
.
•
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 blowout.
Should You Re
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
the
text
