Step 37Fix a Flat Motorcycle Tire
Alex Hornstein and Alison Murphy fix a flat on a small motorcycle.
It's a Honda TLR200 200cc trials bike. It has innertubes and doesn't have rim locks.
The process is exactly the same as fixing a flat on a bicycle. Read the instructions on the patch kit.
EXCEPT: everything is bigger and more work.
You have to lubricate the tire rim with soapy water.
The tire irons you use to pry it off the rim are the flat end (that's what it's for) of a lugwrench from an old car. Wrap a plastic bag around it if it seems like it will nick your rim or puNcture the innertube.
The other picture shows Alison checking the finished repair for leaks, using the waterjet's slack tub to look for bubbles.
