FAQs
What kind of punctures can this kit repair?
This kit is designed for temporary repairs of small punctures caused by items like nails or screws. It is not suitable for large cuts, slashes, or sidewall damage.
How many times can I use this kit?
The kit contains 3 inflation canisters, which are sufficient to inflate one typical motorcycle tyre. Once a canister is used, it cannot be refilled. The repair itself is temporary.
Will this permanently fix my tyre?
No, this kit provides a temporary repair. It is intended to allow you to reach a professional tyre repair service or a safe location. You should have your tyre inspected and repaired or replaced by a professional as soon as possible.
Can I use this on car tyres?
This kit is specifically designed for motorcycle tyres and their typical pressure ranges. It is not recommended for use on car tyres.
What is the shelf life of the repair sealant?
While the canisters themselves have a long shelf life if stored correctly, the effectiveness of the sealant can diminish over extended periods. It's best to use them within a few years of purchase and store them properly.
Do I need any special tools to use this kit?
The kit usually includes the necessary components for the repair and inflation. You may need basic tools like pliers to remove the puncturing object if it's still in the tyre, but the kit is designed for straightforward, on-the-spot use.
Troubleshooting
Tyre does not inflate sufficiently
Ensure the canister is fully screwed in and the valve is properly engaged. Try using a second canister. Check that the puncture is small and not a larger tear.
Repair does not hold air
The puncture may be too large or in an unsuitable location (e.g., sidewall). This kit is for temporary repairs of small punctures only. Seek professional assistance.
Canister is empty very quickly
Check for excessive leakage around the valve or connection point. Ensure the puncture is not excessively large, which would allow the gas to escape too rapidly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
