Nail in a rear tire

[Tripletrouble]

Get it fixed properly. A plug will get you home but it's best to know how big the object in the tire is. If it's long it could be scraping around inside destroying the cords.

As the title of the video states, it's a TEMPORARY fix... although much better than the common sticky plugs.

What you're looking for is plug/patch combination like this;



This plug is installed from inside the tire after the inner surface has been scored and an adhesive applied which then looks like this from the inside when installed;



These images came from http://ajayananth.wordpress.com/tag/...-a-motorcycle/ which explains it well and has HUGE pictures although I just noticed that it doesn't mention the adhesive / cement which bonds the patch portion to the tire... very important part of the process.

Just got to Ted @ Rosey Toes Motorcycles Inc.

I put Tire Slime in mine, pulled the nail out, and drove for another 12,000km's on it and never had any issues! Worked flawless. I got another nail in it around the 7,000km mark and I didn't know, but my buddie said "hey you got a nail in it" so I grabbed the pliers out of my bikes tool kit and pulled it out right on the spot while he screamed NOOOO DON'T DO IT! lol. A little green slime oozed out, done.

I put about 2/3 of the $10 bottle in my rear: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

I use tire slime in my work trucks they seem to get 1 nail per month or so and no issues so far just pull it out and drive on.
