Question:

How hard is it to fix a flat tire on a motorcycle?

they still have tubes right?

Answer:

If you need to get the bike home then plugging it would be okay for that but you need to replace the tire.You could also use fix-a-flat in an emergeny,it will work on a tube type tire too.The tire definately needs replaced once you're home. Taking the wheel off and replacing a tire is not too hard of a job.

Hey Johnboy, most bikes have tubless tires. Street bikes that is. If you need to just get back on the road to get home or to ride to the tire shop you can plug it just like you plug a car tire with a tire repair kit. If it is a tube type tire the tube has to come out. Since you are taking the tire off to take the tube out put a new tube in and make sure you have removed from the tire the culprit that gave you the flat in the first place. So yeah a flat tire is a hassle but after you've done it a couple of times you become an old hand at it.
John if you are asking yahoo people how to change a tire. You must leave that to the experts. Lot of the bikes are tubeless. Sticking a plug in a hole is not the way to fix a flatYour life depends on two tires. You buy new tires and very seldom will a patch be safe See if there is a video for this repair--
