5miles is crazy bro, bless up yourself 🙏

[@6GearCutloe]

Facts. The Road 6s handled it well.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I have plugged many tubeless truck and car tires. Dismount the tire and put a tubeless tire patch on the inside of the tire. The steel chords in a tire will cut up the plug. The Plug just helps to keep water and pebbles out of the puncture hole. Actually, I would consider a plug just to slow down a fast leak to a slow leak so you can get home or get to where you can dismount the tire and put a tubeless tire patch on the inside of the tire.

Thanks family!

Glad you got home safe. Just this September I picked up a nail in my brand new Road 5 rear, literally the day after it was installed. I was still close to home so I just left the nail in the tire and rode back. Luckily it was easy to plug, no issues with the tire.

[@6GearCutloe]

Thanks, brother. Yea, i went about 3 years with no nails. I'm glad it happened the way it did. New skill acquired.

[@norevlimitr1602]

Dont use the reamer on a motorcycle tire, its too thin. Just stick the plug right in the hole.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

yeah thats why they included it in the kit......

[@norevlimitr1602]

@@mountainbearoutdoors Thats for car and truck tires, they are 4x or more thicker than a motorcycle tire. No reemer no lube just stick the plug in and go. It will stay in there for the life of the tire.

[@6GearCutloe]

That actually makes sense. Thanks for sharing that ,family.

[@armadilllo]

I put 6 of those plugs in my tire and rode it until it was gone. I think I kept picking up screws and nails from lane splitting since everything goes to the edge of the lanes. That's the reason God gave us spit, to check for bubbles.

[@achraf9946]

haha the last part with the burning got me laughing

[@6GearCutloe]

😂

[@rooneyw2208]

Screw stuck in that worked itself out. You in GA? I get nailed all the time here.

[@6GearCutloe]

Yep in GA.

[@davidshaffer4649]

Hey man,shove the plug in,leave a half inch,spin the plug insertion tool 2 or 3 times pull out till ya see the plug at the end of the tool and cut it flush

[@6GearCutloe]

Thanks for the tips family!

[@jonasbaine3538]

You don’t have a tire pressure display on that bike??? My 2014 ktm 1190 alerts me immediately if tire pressure gets low and shows the temps on the menu.

[@6GearCutloe]

Nope. No TPS, unfortunately. Hopefully, Yamaha put one in the new Gen.

[@Darren-u4i]

I also carry tyre plug kit&tow strap tyre pressure gauge.

[@6GearCutloe]

Just ordered one for every vehicle

[@flitsies]

The mushroom plugs work much better i found, they are quicker and more permanent, the plugs you used are better for a rip, but for a hole like that the mushroom plug works better. But with all these temp repair systems they are only as a get you home or up to a certain max speed mushroom say 50 mph max, though i have gone faster with it, not to be recommended.

[@6GearCutloe]

Yea, i heard the mushrooms work pretty well.

[@flitsies]

@@6GearCutloe I use them all the time it takes about 10 minute to fix a puncture including pumping up to pressure. I always give a little bit of tire weld or similar just for my own reassurance that i won't have to change the patch and every one I have had to do has lasted till I had to change the tire due to wear.

[@mobilgin]

Don't wary man, just get extra MC Donald order and everything will be ok...

[@6GearCutloe]
