easy one to answer, NO for the patch, plug or super glue. your life will be on how much tire?at what speed? wuth how much heat? is it worth it? 220 dollars or pain?

I wouldn’t do it for the track but I’ve ridden on the street with plugs in few occasions.

Use it , should not be a problem. It always good to be cautious but not to an extreme. I have had a flat on just about every motorcycle tire I've owned and never had a problem. Everyone is different, I consider this a relatively small risk all things considered.

I used a plug/patch that you can pick up at Napa Auto Parts. No problems.:thumbsup:

They say it is alright if you keep speed under 120mph. I would not do it personally, but if had to for financil reasons I would. Not a huge risk, just a small one. Peace :cool:

No chance for me, the potential looms large and it isn't without pain. Only for an emergency i'll plug or patch but otherwise no way. BD
