FAQs
What type of tires does this kit work with?
This kit is specifically designed for tubeless motorcycle tires.
Can this kit repair sidewall punctures?
While it can attempt to seal punctures, this kit is most effective for punctures in the tread area. Sidewall damage is generally more difficult to repair reliably and may require professional attention or tire replacement.
How long does a repair made with this kit typically last?
The repair is intended to be a temporary or semi-permanent solution to get you back riding. For critical applications or long-term use, a professional tire repair or replacement is recommended.
Do I need any special tools to use this kit?
The kit includes the necessary tools: a reamer and an insertion tool. You will also need a tire pump to reinflate the tire.
How should I store the repair kit?
Store the kit in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure all components are present and undamaged before each use.
Is this kit suitable for use on road motorcycles as well as trials bikes?
While the principle of repair is the same, this kit is part of Apico's collection often geared towards off-road and trials riding. It is suitable for any tubeless motorcycle tire, but riders should always assess the suitability for their specific riding conditions and tire type.
Troubleshooting
Repair plug does not seal the puncture.
Ensure the puncture hole was adequately reamed and cleaned. Check that the plug was fully inserted and the insertion tool was twisted correctly during removal. For larger or irregular holes, this kit may not provide a permanent seal.
Insertion tool is difficult to push.
Make sure the puncture hole is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of soapy water or tire sealant to the plug and insertion tool to aid in sliding it into the hole.
Tire loses pressure quickly after repair.
The puncture may be too large or in a location that cannot be effectively sealed by the plug (e.g., sidewall). A more permanent repair or tire replacement may be necessary.
