I have a 2008 cbr 600rr and i got a screw in my rear tire.There is only 800 miles on the bike.. Its still in there and its not leaking air. Is this patchable or do i need to buy a whole new tire? I took it NTB and ask if they could put a plug in it and they said it might ruin the tire and would not do it. Any suggestions

 

For safty reasons alone I would buy a new tire. A couple of hundred bucks compared to your life????you choose

 

LOL im in the same situation but I just bought new pilot powers two weeks ago and they have less then 200 miles on them. I looked the other day and there the little ****er was, right in my tire.

 

Ya i was mad!!!! Its like dead in the center of my tire. I think im just going to plug/patch it and check it every day for a few weeks. Then keep checking it every week or so.

Could just patch it and do some sweet burnies and just buy a new one!

 

Just get a new tire mang......

Freak is right...for safety reasons alone.

And yeah...that sucks having a screw in there [:'(]

 

Get a new tire what if something goes wrong with the plug while your riding then what?

 

If you wanna patch it the owner at a local shop said he did that once on his bike. What he did was he took the tire off and ruffed up the inside where the hole was and then put a patch on there. I wouldnt mess with a plug nor use this for long term.

Plugs are all fine and dandy on a car, but when you only have 2 wheels touching the road, you don't want to chance a plug. It's too risky IMO, especially when a new tire is relatively inexpensive.

 

HAHA anyone wnan buy me a new tire then!

 

Well, I guess if you cant afford the proper gear then you shouldnt ride. be safe
