Some punctures in motorcycle tires can be repaired if no other damage is 
present. Dunlop recommends only individual permanent plug-patch repairs of 
small tread area punctures from within the demounted tire by a qualified 
tire repair shop or motorcycle dealer. Never perform an exterior repair and 
never use an innertube as a substitute for a proper repair. Your bike should 
not exceed 50 mph for the first 24 hours after the repair and the repaired 
tire should never be used over 80 mph. Dunlop speed ratings are voided by 
repairs.
