A tyre that is repaired either temporarily or
permanently, will have lower speed and
performance limits than a new tyre. After an
emergency repair, always have the tyre
inspected/replaced at our authorised dealer
and replace the tyre if suggested.
Tyre Repair
Unidirectional Tyres
Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel
requires special tools and technical expertise.
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, it is advised
to visit nearest tyre manufacture, Hero
MotoCorp authorised dealer/workshop or the
tyre repair shop who has expertise in repairing
methods of tubeless tyre.
Whenever the tyre is removed and put back
in case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark
on the tyre is in the same direction as that of
forward rotation of wheel.
(1) Tread wear indicator (2) Arrow mark
If you decide to have a tyre replace be sure the
wheel is balanced before you ride.
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.
The tyres that were installed on your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance capabilities of your motorcycle
and provide the best combination of handling,
braking, durability and comfort.
Tyre Replacement
î Always use the size and type of tyres
recommended in this owner's manual
î Follow all instruction in this owner’s manual
regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
î Under-inflation may result in the tyre
slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.
î Operation with excessively worn tyres is
hazardous and will adversely affect traction
and handling.
î Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
