Taking Care of the Unexpected
199
If You Have a Flat Tyre
How you handle a flat tyre on the trail depends on how serious the
tyre damage is, and what tools and supplies you have with you.
If you have a slow leak or a minor puncture, use the plug method to
make a temporary repair. (The plug method is applied from the
outside of the tyre and is the same as that for conventional tubeless
tyres.)
A plug-type repair kit, available at most auto parts stores or service
stations, provides a plug, an installation tool, tyre cement, and an
instruction sheet. Follow the instructions provided with the repair kit
to make a temporary repair.
As soon as possible, have the tyre permanently repaired by your
dealer.
Any tyre that cannot be repaired should be replaced.
Whenever the Honda SXS is to be operated far from service facilities
or available transportation, we recommend that you carry a tyre
pump and a repair kit with the vehicle.
If the leak is more serious, or a temporary repair doesn't hold, the
tyre must be replaced. The tyre will also need to be replaced if it is
damaged (page 164). Replacing a tyre involves removing and re-
installing the wheel (page 200).
If you are unable to repair a flat tyre on the trail, you will need to
send for help. We strongly recommend that you do not try to drive
with a flat tyre. The Honda SXS will be hard to handle, and if the tyre
comes off the rim, it may lock up the wheel and cause you to crash
or overturn.
