Pushthevalvestembackintotherimsothatitisnolongerpassesthroughtherim.Remembering
wherethepunctureoccurredonthetire(ifyouwereabletoidentifythepuncturelocation),pullthe
tubeoutofthetire(you’llbepulling itoutbetweenthetireand
therimonthesidewhereyou
separatedthetirefromtherim).

Carefullyinspectthetubeintheareaadjacenttothetirepuncturelocationandinspectforthesourceof
theleak.Ifyoufinditandifitissmall(theyalmostalwaysare),youcanmost
likelypatchitasa
temporaryfix.Ifthetearismoreextensive,youshouldreplacethetube.

Ifyoucan’tfindtheleak,partiallyinflatethetubeandlistenforhissing.Youmayhavetoputthe
partiallyinflatedtubenearyourearandrotateituntilyoufind
theleak.Ifyouarenearwater,youcan
immersethetubeandlookforbubblestolocatetheleak.Ifyouhearitbutcan’tseeit,youcanrubspit
aroundthegeneralareaandlookfortheleak.

Beforeyoureinstallthetube(eitheroneyou’vepatched
oranewone),reachinandgingerlyfeelaround
theinsideofthetire.Lookforanythingthatmightdamagethetubewhenyoureinstallit.Exercise
caution(ifthereissomethingstickingintothetire,don’tcutyourselfonit).Ifyoufindanything,remove
it.

Gentlyinsert
eitherthepatchedoranewtubeintothetire.Positionitsothatthevalvestemisaligned
withtheholeintherim.Pushthevalvestemthroughtheholeintherimandthenreinstallthe10mm
nutonthevalvestemtolockthevalvestemin
place.Gentlytuckthetubecompletelyintothetire.

Reinstallthetireontherimusingtireirons.Takecarenottopinchthetubebetweenthetireandthe
rim(anddon’tdamagethetubewiththetireirons)whenreseatingthetire.Liberaluseofspray
lubricant
willhelp.

Reinstallthetireandwheelonthemotorcyclebeforeyouinflatethetube.Thisisthereverseofthe
