How to Repair a Tubeless Tyre Puncture on TVS Ntorq?

A punctured Ntorq tyre can be a frustrating experience, but with the right tools and know-how, you can easily repair it yourself. The TVS Ntorq comes equipped with tubeless tyres, which means you don't need to remove the tyre or replace the inner tube to fix a puncture. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of repairing a punctured Ntorq tyre using a tubeless tyre repair kit.

What You'll Need

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools:

Tubeless tyre puncture repair kit (includes spiral probe, insertion tool, rubber cement, and repair strips)
Pliers
Knife or blade
Tyre pump

Having these tools handy will make the repair process quick and hassle-free.

Step 1: Locate and Remove the Object

The first step is to find the puncture spot on your Ntorq tyre. Usually, it's caused by a nail or sharp object. Once you've located the object, use pliers to pull it out from the tyre carefully. Make sure to remove the object completely to avoid further damage.

Step 2: Prepare the Puncture Hole

Next, take the spiral probe from your repair kit and insert it into the puncture hole. Move the probe in and out a few times to clean the hole and slightly widen it. This will make it easier to insert the repair strip.

Step 3: Prepare the Repair Strip

Take a repair strip from your kit and thread it through the eye of the insertion tool, ensuring both sides are equal in length. Apply a small amount of rubber cement to the strip or directly into the puncture hole for better sealing.

Step 4: Insert the Repair Strip

Using the insertion tool, push about two-thirds of the repair strip into the puncture hole. Twist the tool 360 degrees and pull it out, leaving the strip in place. The strip should now plug the hole, preventing air from escaping.

Step 5: Trim Excess Strip

Use a knife or blade to cut off any excess repair strip sticking out from the surface of your Ntorq tyre. Make sure the surface is smooth and even.

Step 6: Reinflate the Tyre

Finally, use a tyre pump to refill your Ntorq tyre with air to the recommended pressure. Check your owner's manual or the tyre sidewall for the correct pressure.

Tips for Repairing Your Ntorq Tyre

Always carry a tubeless puncture repair kit and a portable pump while riding your TVS Ntorq.
For large or sidewall punctures, or if the repair does not hold, consult a professional or consider replacing the tyre.
Regularly inspect your Ntorq tyres for embedded objects and overall condition to avoid sudden punctures.
