NOTE: The wheel has arrow
marks showing the rotating direc-
tion. The arrow marks on the tire
and on the wheel should be in the
same direction.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instruc-
tions about tubeless tires may
result in an accident due to tire
failure. Tubeless tires require
different service procedures
than tube tires.
• Tubeless tires require an air-
tight seal between the tire
bead and wheel rim. Special
tire irons and rim protectors or
a specialized tire mounting
machine must be used for
removing and installing tires
to prevent tire or rim damage
which could result in an air
leak.
• Repair punctures in tubeless
tires by removing the tire and
applying an internal patch.
• Do not use an external repair
plug to repair a puncture since
the plug may work loose as a
result of the cornering forces
experienced by a motorcycle
tire.
• After repairing a tire, do not
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for
the first 24 hours, 130 km/h (80
mph) thereafter. This is to
avoid excessive heat build-up
which could result in a tire
repair failure and tire deflation.
• Replace the tire if it is punc-
tured in the sidewall area, or if
a puncture in the tread area is
larger than 6 mm (3/16 in).
These punctures cannot be
repaired adequately.
