Repairing Motorcycle Tires

Repaired motorcycle tires should be used only to get you home if need be. They should be changed for safety sake at the earliest possible convenience.

Remember on a car, you have 4 tires and a repaired tire there isn't as critical as when you only have two tires, it's not worth gambling on your life to use a repaired tire.

Most spoke wheels cannot be repaired with a flat fixing kit because the air will leak out around the spoke nipples. There are only a few spoked wheels that are tubeless, this is because of a vulcanized strip that covers the spoke nipples and prevents the air loss.
Mag wheels can be patched/plugged as a temporary repair until replacement is possible.

Use a repaired tire to get you home then replace it for safety sake.

Here's a few choices for repair kits.
