Ok so yesterday afternoon I went out and spent 300$ on new tires and now after putting a whole 15miles on them I run over a staple that was about 3/4 inches long, what should I do? I didn't even have the money in the first place to get the new tires. The tire hasn't went flat but its only been 15mins, should it be fine or do I need to repair it? any suggestions?

 

Nothing to do but see if it goes flat.

 

if it doesnt leak dont worry about it. If it does plug it n ride on!!!

 

it feels like it is loosing air if i do end up needing to patch it are there any kits you would recommend or are they all the same

 

Have a shop plug it for you if need be.

 

Called the place I got tire from (ridenow) and they said they dont plug tires and as far as they now no one in AZ plugs tires for liability reasons. Ill prob just plug it myself doesn't seem to difficult to do.

 

if the tire is leaking dismount it and patch it on the inside. tractor supply has a good selection of patches. a regular plug will pull out on bike tires.

 

we use speed plugs here at my work for sport bikes. After you put it on i recommend getting it balanced!!!

 

yep my buddy rode his gixxer over the whole summer with his tire plugged. same thing happened. brand new continental tire, ran over a nail bam. flat, plugged reinflated and off he went, he didnt even rebalance but that wouldnt be a bad idea

 

Patch it don't plug it!

All that force on a motorcycle tire can yank a plug right out. It's not worth the risk...

Do what white_knuckled said... dismount the tire n patch it.
