Unidirectional Tyres
Whenever the tyre is removed and put back in
case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark (2)
on the tyre is in the same direction as that of
forward rotation of wheel.
Tyre Repair
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should
replace it, not repair it. As mentioned below, a
tyre that is repaired either temporarily or
permanently, will have lower speed and
performance limits than a new tyre.
A temporarily repaired, 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 cautiously to your Authorised
Distributor/Dealer and have the tyre replaced.
If possible you should not carry a pillion or
load 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 70 km/hour for the
1st 24 hours or 105 km/hour at any time
thereafter. In addition you may not be able to
safely carry as much load as with a new tyre.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you
replace a damaged tyre.
If you decide to have a tyre replace be sure the
wheel is balanced before you ride.
