If you’ve ever hit a deep pothole or curb too hard, you know the gut-wrenching sound of a bent or cracked motorcycle rim. It’s one of the most frustrating damages any rider can face — but the good news is, it’s not always the end for your wheel. In this video, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of repairing a broken motorcycle tyre rim like a pro!
First, we start by removing the tyre from the rim. This allows a clear inspection of the damage — whether it’s a minor bend, a dent on the edge, or a full-on crack. Once the rim is cleaned and stripped down, the repair process begins. Using precision heat treatment and professional tools, we carefully realign the bent section back to its original shape. The key here is controlled heat and gradual pressure — too much force, and you risk weakening the metal.
Next, for cracks or fractures, we demonstrate how to weld and reinforce the rim safely. TIG welding is preferred for aluminum rims, offering strong, clean joints that restore the rim’s integrity. After the weld is done, the surface is sanded smooth, and the rim is rebalanced to ensure perfect rotation. Finally, the rim gets a fresh coat of finish, making it look brand new again.
Throughout the video, we share insider tips from professional mechanics — from how to identify structural vs. cosmetic damage, to when it’s safer to replace the rim entirely. Whether you’re a weekend rider or a daily commuter, this tutorial will save you time, money, and frustration.
So, don’t toss that damaged rim just yet! Watch the full video and learn how to bring your motorcycle wheel back to life — safely, efficiently, and with professional results.
