How to Use Motorcycle Tubeless Tire Sealant?
2 Answers
Unscrew the tire valve cap, then use a valve wrench to remove the valve core and completely deflate the tire. If there is existing sealant in the tire, ensure the valve is facing downward during deflation. Before use, invert the sealant bottle and shake it vigorously to ensure even mixing. Remove the adapter tube from the sealant bottle, cut open the outlet, and attach the adapter tube. Connect the sealant and adapter tube to the valve stem, then squeeze the recommended amount of sealant into the tire.
I used to travel by motorcycle for years, and tire sealant was a must-have in my gear. First, park the motorcycle on level ground to ensure stability, and carefully unscrew the valve cap to avoid losing it. Connect the injector tube of the sealant and slowly inject the recommended amount—usually around 50-100 ml depending on tire size. After injection, quickly screw the cap back on, then use a pump to inflate the tire to the manufacturer’s specified pressure, such as 30-40 PSI. Ride around for a few minutes to let the liquid spread evenly along the inner wall, so it can automatically seal small punctures from nails. Adding it in advance helps prevent flat tires, making long rides much more worry-free, but note it only works for small holes—larger punctures require professional repair. When choosing a sealant, check the expiration date and look for labels indicating it’s specifically for tubeless tires, as expired products may reduce effectiveness.
