If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Taking Care of the Unexpected
How you handle a flat tire on the trail depends
on how serious the tube or tire damage is, and
what tools and supplies you have with you.
If you have a slow leak or a minor puncture,
there are two ways to try making a temporary
repair:
Use a tube patch kit to repair the puncture.
(This requires removing the tire.)
Use an aerosol tire sealer to seal the puncture
and inflate the tube. (This can be done
without removing the tire or wheel.)
If the fuel system appears to be okay, check the
ignition system (this requires a spark plug
wrench):
If you cannot identify or correct the problem,
you will have to push your motorcycle back to
your base or get some help.
Operate the kickstarter while you watch the
spark plug. If it sparks, the ignition system is
probably working. If there is no spark, install
a new spark plug, if you have one with you.
If there is still no spark, there is a problem in
the ignition system.
Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove
the spark plug. Connect the spark plug cap to
the spark plug and ground the threaded
portion of the spark plug on the cylinder
head.
Check that the spark plug cap isn’t loose or
disconnected.
