if its a tube tire u dont need to worry much about it if it aint leakin its not gonna prob didnt even go all the way through the tire

 

I'd pull it off and look at the tire. If you have a hole through the tire, I would put a plug in since you only have 75 miles on them. If they were way down on life, I'd replace the tire. J&P Cycles has them available in a small kit you can take with you.

 

1+ I agree! What do you think you will see by looking inside the tire? If the tire isn't leaking you will not have any marks inside!

 

Since you have a tube, I personally wouldn't worry about it. If you need something to satisfy your peace of mind then go have a plug patch put in. It goes in from the inside and serves as both a patch and a plug.

 

It makes no sense to pull the tire and plug it. If it isn't leaking, I would not do a thing to it. Run it like you stole it. If you do pull the tire off, put a patch on the inside of the tire if there is a large hole. But I would not pull it at all. I don't understand anyone saying to pull it off and plug it. A plug is OK to get you home, but if you pull the tire off, PATCH it and be done with it.

 

There could be just a couple of molecules of rubber keeping in the air. How comfortable can you possibly be to not know with any certainty how far the screw penetrated? A wheel pull and check is much cheaper than an overnight stay in the cheapest hospital in the land. Think about it.

 

leaving it will only lead to more damage, i would replace the tire and truly be done with it. why would anyone leave a metal object in a motorcycle tire is way beyond me. safety issue in my eyes. a patch and plug would be better than the metal in the tire by anymeans but replacing would be best. yeah i know the cost $$ but is tire worth your life?

 

This is what I was speaking of. Much better than just a patch.

 

There's only 2 tires underneath you for christs sake, if you want to save a few bucks run the black oil filter instead of the chrome one and put a new tube and tire on.

 

Now you're talking! I would patch it with that and roll on, never think about it again. A patched tire is as good as a brand new one, unless there was a tear or large hole. Then ya ****-can it and start anew.
