Before the advent of Bridgestone motorcycle tire, a cyclist went to a tire manufacturer in 1891 to get his tire repaired. It was reported that it took three hours of repair and was allowed to dry overnight. Then it was fixed back to the rim with glue. Now with the new technologies, it enables us to get the tire repaired in a few minutes!
The better the tire, the better the comfort. With Bridgestone motorcycle tire, you can enjoy the ride always. However you must check your tires periodically. If you find any object embedded in the tire, do not try to remove the same yourself, as you may end up damaging the tire and/or tire tube. The use of improper tools will damage the rim. Hence, one must be careful in maintaining the bridgestone motorcycle tire. Never drive the motorcycle if you have a flat tire. If you do so, the load of the vehicle the drives cause the tire to crack up.
While driving, if you notice vibration or feeling that the motorcycle is swaying and you are likely to lose balance, do not apply sudden brake. Slow down one speed, move to the side of the road where you can stop and park. Check it out and it may have a puncture on your Bridgestone motorcycle tire. Look for getting the same repaired.
The tires are filled with air (except the tubeless tires) and all the manufacturers recommend certain pressure for the tires. Generally, rear and front tire pressures are different. Low air pressure affects the fuel consumption and also the engine gets heated up. At the same time if the tire is filled with excess air pressure, the ride may be bumpy and the tires are prone to get punctured. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the exact air pressure of your Bridgestone motorcycle tire.
Treads are very important for the life of the tire. No tread- no life! If the tread is less than 1/32nd inch, the bridgestone motorcycle tire may not be safe and sometimes is not repairable. Similarly if the puncture is larger than 1/4 inch in diameter, it is not advisable to use it further. In both such cases, replace the tire. Also note that repair of all radial and non-radial tires must be of the plug and inside patch type.
Enjoy your ride always with new bridgestone motorcycle tire and not with the repaired tires. It is reported that you shall not use the repaired tire for speeds above 80 mph. Hence play with the throttle, only when you tire is healthy. Rear tire and front tire may not be the same size on your motorcycle. Check and use only the appropriate size of Bridgestone motorcycle tire. Use of any other kind of motorcycle tires may result in injuries.
