If your rear tire goes flat while riding, what may happen to the motorcycle?

When a motorcycle experiences a flat rear tire while riding, it can lead to instability, causing the motorcycle to jerk or sway from side to side. This is primarily due to the loss of traction and balance that occurs when one tire is deflated. Since the rear tire plays a crucial role in maintaining the motorcycle’s stability and overall handling, a flat tire can disrupt this balance and cause the motorcycle to veer unexpectedly.

Additionally, the rear tire provides the majority of the power transfer from the engine to the road. When it is flat, there is uneven weight distribution, which can result in a loss of control. Riders need to be aware that in such scenarios, the motorcycle's handling can be significantly affected, and it's essential to reduce speed and safely bring the motorcycle to a stop.

Stability and smooth steering are compromised with a flat rear tire, making it unlikely for the motorcycle to steer straight or stop gradually without experiencing handling issues.
