i picked something up in back tire and my question is can a motorcycle tire be fixed or should i play it safe and get a new one
the hole is the size of a 16 penny nail want to be safe and was wondering if it is like a car tire and just put a patch in it
Like others have said, just plug it. My last two tires were punctured almost immediately after purchase. I still put a few thousand on each before I finally replaced them.
It can be safely plugged, but personally, I wouldn't be able to trust the tire after that. If I could afford it, I would buy a new one just for peace of mind.
I've plugged so many tires in the past without problems even on my race bikes. If they can be plugged, I wouldn't even blink twice with a cruiser tire which takes much less of a load.
To the OP:
Plug it and roll on. I've run 1000's and 1000's of miles on plugged tires
What he said. The one thing I do when I put in a plug: I keep a can of vulcanizing cement and dip the string-type plug in it before I put it in and I twist it several turns before I pull out the tool. Works good, lasts a long time
