Whenever the tyre is removed and put back in
case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark (2)
on the tyre is in the same direction as that of
forward rotation of wheel.
Tyre repair
Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel
requires special tools and technical expertise.
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, it is advised
to visit nearest tyre manufacture,
Hero
MotoCorp
authorised dealer/workshop or the
tyre repair shop who has expertise in
repairing methods of tubeless tyre.
A tyre that is repaired either temporarily or
permanently, will have lower speed and
performance limits than a new tyre. After an
emergency repair, always have the tyre
inspected/replaced at our authorised dealer
and replace the tyre if suggested.
You should not exceed 70 km/hour for the
1st 24 hours or 105 km/hour at any time
thereafter. In addition, you may not be able to
safely carry as much load as with a new tyre.
If you decide to have a tyre replace be sure the
wheel is balanced before you ride.
Tyre replacement
The tyres that were installed on your vehicle
were designed to match the performance
capabilities of your vehicle and provide the
best combination of handling, braking,
durability and comfort.

this vehicle. Excessive heat buildup can
cause the tube to burst.

rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and
during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-
type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the
tyre to rapidly deflate.
