Servicing Your Honda
Tires
A permanent repair, such as an internal plug patch, can be made if a tire has only
a small puncture in the tread area. With such a repair, you should not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours, or 80 mph (130 km/h) at any time
thereafter. In addition, you may not be able to safely carry as much weight. If
you choose to have a tire repaired, be sure the repair work is performed by a
professional and that the wheel is balanced before you ride.
If you have a tire professionally repaired at a non-Honda facility, we
recommend that you have the work checked by your Honda dealer.
Tire Replacement
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 122.
The tires that came on your motorcycle were designed to match the performance
capabilities of your motorcycle and provide the best combination of handling,
braking, durability, and comfort.
When replacing, use the original equipment tires or equivalent tires of the same
size, construction, speed rating, and load range as the originals.
Installing improper tires on your
motorcycle can affect handling
and stability. This can cause a
crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of
tires recommended in this
owner’s manual.
