Repair the flat tyre.
• Remove the valve cap.
• Let the air out of the tyre completely by pressing the pin in
the centre of the valve in.
• Remove the 5 cylinder head screws (back of the wheel, 2).
• Remove the rim halves from the tyre.
• Remove the inner tube from the tyre.
• Repair the inner tube and re-fit, or replace it with a new one.
NOTE
In case the old inner tube is to be repaired and used again, and it happens to get wet during
repair, then it is easier to re-fit it if you powder it lightly with talcum powder.
• Re-fit the rim halves back into the tyre.
• Pump up the tyre a little.
• Re-position the cylinder head screws in the rim and tighten them firmly. Make sure the inner
tube does not get pinched between the rims halves!
• Check to make sure that the tyre is squarely in place on the rim.
• Pump up the tyre to the recommended tyre pressure.
• Check to make sure that the tyre is still squarely and snugly in place on the rim.
• Screw the valve cap back on.
• Refit the wheel.
