Motorcycle Tyre Puncture repairs

We do NOT offer an emergency call-out service for Motorcycle punctures, but if our workload permits we will endeavour to assist.

We recommend you carry Tyre puncture sealant by Motul which should get you mobile again. We feel the methods of adding chemicals to your bike Tyre to prevent punctures are ill advised as you could be riding around with a punctured tyre unknown to you.

Where possible we will always try and repair your Tyre as opposed to replacing it. If you encounter a puncture and find an object pertruding we recommend that you leave it in place. Please use our brief guide below to assess the viability of fixing your puncture:





Tubed Motorcycle Tyres

Punctures to tubed Motorcycle Tyres can usually be easily repaired, as long as the Tyre itself is not badly damaged, by simply replacing the punctured inner tube. Once the inner tube has been replaced, the Tyre itself can then be repaired.

Tubeless Motorcycle Tyres

Punctures to tubeless Motorcycle Tyres can be repaired although not as easily as tubed Tyres. Mushroom plugs can be used to plug the Tyre safely, assuming the damage isn't too great. Tyres with structural damage, or side wall punctures, can not (and should not) be repaired.

Radial motorcycle tyre

Most radial Tyre punctures are terminal. Due to integral nature of the continuous belt used in the construction of a radial tyre, there is danger of Tyre distortion under extreme use, if the belt is damaged. We will only undertake puncture repairs to radial Tyres if the belt is undamaged, using Mushroom plugs.
