Puncture Repairs

Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Metzeler and Pirelli all approve repairs to their motorcycle tyre in accordance with British Standard BS AU159/f, which states:

• Up to and including J speed rating (62mph) 2 repairs per tyre, not exceeding 6mm in diameter

• Above J speed rating and up to V speed rating (149mph) 1 repair per tyre, not exceeding 3mm diameter.

The above repairs must be restricted to the centre tread, 25% of the nominal section width either side of the tyres centre line. Repairs must only be made using a mushroom type plug.

Mitchelin is the only manufacturer that approves repairs to its W and Z speed rated tyres. All Mitchelin tyres are permitted to have 2 repairs per tyre with a maximum plug diameter of 6mm.

I always use this type of repair for tubeless tyres....




It's like a combined patch AND plug, much safer imho.

I had that very same repair done when I had a slow puncture... done 3000 miles since with no problems
