How To Repair A Motorcycle Tire

How To Repair A Tubeless Tire

Nothing stops a ride quite like a flat tire. Hopefully you’ve packed a flat repair kit to combine with Lemmy’s knowledge. Put the two together, and you’re back on the road. Not today, tow truck! Lemmy’s seen a few flats in his time, so let a pro walk you through a staple of motorcycle repair. For a more in-depth look at fixing that flat, read more at Common Tread.

Man I hope I never have dry mouth if I get a flat. Never realized how much spit was involved! lol Great video!!

Hey Lemmy, had my first flat tire today and didn't know exactly what to do. I saw your video and plugged my first tire successfully. I'm safe at home now. Thanks!!!

You flattened your tire to help others. a true act of kindness and sacrifice ♥

Lem: Best cycle repair presenter on YouTube...by far!

Thank you for this great video very well presented by Lemmy who really engages the viewer and am sure has given a lot of us motorcyclists who have seen this more confidence in tackling a roadside puncture. Ride Safe. Regards from the UK

You had me at ‘thrusting the knurled shaft into the tire a couple of times’ 😂

Drive/ride on shoulders increase chance of picking up sharp debris! Diagonal cutting pliers can grab objects dug in flush with the tire + double as the "razor blade" to cut off excess plug. I always give a full turn after inserting the plug before yanking the tool out, insures the plug doesn't back itself out with it. Cold temperatures...need to get the plug hot and gummy first, be creative. ;)

Great instructional video. Back in the day, when I lacked funds, those plugs were my permanent fix.😀

Lemmy, we need to talk about those tan lines.

I would add a marking tool to your repair kit. Something like white chalk or a china marker (grease pen). Once the puncture is found, you can circle the location so you don't loose sight of it again.

I carry a kit but have never had to use it. This is how I thought it was done, but it's nice to see confirmation from someone that knows.

[JimmyBComputerGuy]

This dude makes a good video. Good job, Mon.

[andrewrymell]

Thanks for this! Had a kit, just not 100% sure how to use it, got the phone out, checked out this video and 15 mins later was on my way! :)

Thanks so much, I can believe you actually damage your front tire for this video, YOU ROCK MEN.

A compact bicycle hand pump works on tires... it just takes a while. Your pliers would be better at home. Instead carry a leatherman multitool. I never leave without one. You never know if you will need the needle nose pliers for pulling, twisting, hammering... or the knife to stab someone. Regardless of the need, they are handy.

I love watching content there the presenter actually knows what he's talking about and can present it in a user-friendly manner. Excellent video!

I literally just got my bike this morning and was searching for Lemmy's videos when this came up. Sweet and useful!

[jesusacovarrubias]

Thanks for the demo. I'm sold on the kit you're using, just purchased it from your site.

I LOVE REVZILLA VIDEOS!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.

Clear and succint, excellent presentation. Well done and thanks!
