Can a motorcycle puncture always be repaired?
For a motorcycle over 50cc the legal minimum is 1mm of tread across at least three quarters of the width, plus visible tread on the remaining quarter. Long before the legal line, grip in the rain suffers.
Where the hole is and how large it is decides whether it can be mended. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired safely. Tyre fitting and puncture repairs are QBS Powersports workshop services.
Is Yamaha better or Honda?
Neither is better across the board. Both are large Japanese manufacturers, and the right answer depends on the particular model and the riding you do. QBS Powersports is a Yamaha dealership, and its workshop services all main brands, Honda included.
Can an ATV be used on the road?
QBS Powersports lists ATV and parts in its range, in utility, leisure and sport categories. Utility machines are work tools for farms and estates, leisure ones are for trail riding, and sport ones are built for performance.
Off the public road, an ATV is not registered. Road use means a road legal machine, registration, tax, insurance and the right licence. Wear a helmet on a quad wherever you ride it.
Which Yamaha bike is considered the best?
The best Yamaha is the one that suits the riding you actually do, so the answer changes with the rider. Commuters lean towards the MT and scooter ranges, tourers towards the Tracers, and riders heading off tarmac towards the Ténéré 700.
