Puncture repairs are an option for motorcycle tyres depending on the tyres speed rating and the cause of the puncture.

Motorcycle Tyre Information

Tyres are the only parts of the motorcycle which are in contact with the road. Safety in acceleration, braking, steering and cornering all depend on a relatively small area of road contact. It is therefore of paramount importance that tyres should be maintained in good condition at all times and that when the time comes to change them the correct replacements are fitted.

The legal limit for tread depth on a motorcycle is 1mm but most riders will chose to change their tyres before this point. A worn motorcycle tyre can have a detrimental effect on the way a motorcycle handles, in some cases making it dangerous to ride.

Inflation pressures must be checked at least once a week. They should be checked only when the tyre is cold, since there is an increase in pressure when the tyre has warmed up after being run. A reliable pressure gauge should be used.

Tyres should be examined regularly, removing stones and other objects embedded in the tyre. Oil and grease should be removed with a suitable diluted detergent. Lumps or bulges could indicate internal damage and should be examined by a tyre specialist without delay.

Ride Safe !!
