Start with the essentials
Use a reliable pressure gauge and the pressures specified for the motorcycle and load. Inspect tread, sidewalls, valves and any unusual wear. A puncture kit is not a permanent answer for every type of damage.
What you can do
- Check pressure when tyres are cold and investigate repeated pressure loss.
- Ask a tyre specialist whether a puncture is safely repairable; sidewall damage needs particular care.
- Have wobble, vibration or uneven wear assessed rather than adjusting parts by guesswork.
Keep in mind
Tyre life varies with use and condition. No maintenance routine can guarantee a fixed number of extra kilometres.
