If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
A flat tire is always unwelcome,
especially if you are far from help. If you
think you are losing air, or you hit a
pothole or hard object, pull safely to the
side of the road so you can inspect the
tires and assess the situation. (Be sure to
park on a firm, level surface and use the
side stand for support.) You should
examine the tire treads and sidewalls for
foreign objects or damage.
If a tire has major damage or the bead has
come loose from the rim, there is probably
not much you can do except have your
motorcycle transported to a Honda dealer
or other qualified service facility. Even
with a simple puncture, this may be the
safest and least troublesome solution. For
transporting instructions, see page .
Honda does not recommend that you make
a temporary repair to a tube-type tire.
However, if you decide to make a
temporary repair so you can get to a
service facility, ride cautiously at reduced
speed and have the tube and tire replaced
before you ride again.
