Stop and Go Pocket Tire Plugger Demo

[martyman5000]

I only use three tools for plugging my commercial lawn tractor. Pliers...reamer and the hook for pushing in the plug.

[cbrstunter24]

Great instructions! Thank u so much!!!

[apopj1]

Thank you.... I have this kit and the little stringy kit and all sorts of gimmicks. At least now I have seen this one used. Appreciate the time and effort... Thanks again....

[JimmyGunXD556]

I got a kit by SLIME. It contains all the tools and a very small air compressor.

We used plug inserts to repair big rig tires and they are better that a patch which is what the "certified" tire guys want you to come to them for. Plus this is for emergency tire repair which is great. Most plugs use a glue as well and we have used this kind with the glue on them for permanent repair.

I agree with Nasir160701, 100% To try to find emergency for heat stem your tire is surely will be hard, plus you do not want to mess around with people who are not familiar with your expensive bike when they have to take everything apart. My friend experienses a damaged on the swing-arms when they tried to forced the wheels in. For me it works specially when I travel through mountains in Thailand, no one can help me for sure. At least this can get me going and do proper one later if needed.

[Nasir160701]

Guys, use ya brain! This method is for emergency use! If u guys r going for a road-trip or a long distance journey, don't tell me there's a tire shop on every street! So pls stop ur stupid comments on discouraging using the patch kit.

[scruffyinoz1]

I usually don't comment on these type of Videos, that being said I feel the need to leave a short comment. I do like to see people sharing their knowledge on you tube when it's of value that being said this is terrible advice it is unsafe and very foolish to plug a tire on any vehicle especially a Motorcycle.

I konw this because i'm an experienced biker but not a know-all biker and anyone saying use a plug instead of getting it patched is im sorry to say an idiot.

Remember rubber melts when hot

[InSorteDiaboIi]

Yea, to bad this is the worst possible idea ever. Don't be cheap, actually get your tire repaired properly. I am certified by Michelin Tire, and this is not an authorized tire repair procedure. Not to mention this is NOT reliable nor safe. There is much more you need to do to properly plug and patch a hole in a tire.

[AtlasRider]

@InSorteDiaboIi For a couple years I would immediately replace my tire after a puncture. But as the number of punctures grew (4 in 3 months at one point) I couldn't justify buying a new tire each time. This solution has worked for me. Perhaps I'm just lucky that it hasn't failed, but a lot of other people have the same story as mine it seems.

[adamsv1000]

@InSorteDiaboIi What if I would tell you that I did 8,000 miles in just 16 weeks on a tire with a plug and I had no problem what so ever? That incldues more than 12 hours per day of riding. Allthough, Stop and go company also says it is not 100% safe and even says the best thing would be to change the tire I did a good job. Even more had I not had that kit I would hae been stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting hours for the tow truck to come. That kit saved me.

[2wheeltips]

@InSorteDiaboIi

Not hatin'...but if you are in a jam and you catch a flat in the middle of nowhere, this is an excellent tool to get you on your way. The stop n go folks do not advertise this as a permanent repair and I'd rather use this than wait around on the side of the highway (some areas have bear and mountain lions roaming around) for a truck with a certified tire repair person to show up.

I'd use this, and then drive to a station for a permanent repair.....whatever that may be.

[busdrivermike13]

@InSorteDiaboIi well I agree with your statement the only issue for me

is no bike shop here will repair a bike tire, I know I got a nail 'small one"

in a tire that was on for 3 hrs, nobody would repair it. I got the kit but I use it mainly as away to get my bike home then

I can remove the tire and get it replaced, since no one will fix it

at least not here in the Edmonton area

[textcrwds]

@InSorteDiaboIi Of course you would be selling propaganda since you have been brainwashed by Michelin tire to not think and choose by yourself.

[InSorteDiaboIi]

@textcrwds - LMAO You're a fucking idiot. I do choose for myself. I've always chosen Michelin, well before I got certified by them. Brainwashing? Propaganda?  Get off the drugs.

[jholleyjr2]

@InSorteDiaboIi DUDE they do the same thing at the tire places. All those tire places are just ripingg people off, overcharging people for stuff they can do themselves.

[InSorteDiaboIi]

@jholleyjr2 - Clearly you don't understand things. There are proper ways to patch a tire, then there are improper ways, and ways that are against DOT safety standards. This way, is both. Places like Sams Club, offer free Flat Repair, so how is that over charging? And they are all certified by Michelin Tires. (I used to work there myself, as well as a few Goodyear stores) But if you want to be a cheap ass and put your own safety at risk, be my guess.

[InSorteDiaboIi]

@InSorteDiaboIi - Guest*

[jholleyjr2]

@InSorteDiaboIi This is not patching a tire, this is plugging you dumb ass. You didnt work anywhere cause obviously you dont know shit about tires. Those damn tire places are rip offs, sams club is not a tire place. You are a joke. Its not about being cheap its about not being able to afford being over charged for tires.

[InSorteDiaboIi]

@jholleyjr2 - No shit it's plugging, I know this. The proper way to repair a tire, is patching it. More specifically, a plug/patch combo. Sams Club does sell tires, and is backed by several main brands, Michelin, Goodyear, and Bridgestone. as such, seems you need to learn a few more things before coming at someone who is certified. These cheap, half ass, and not to mention Non DOT Approved methods , are unsafe. Give it up, you're a cheapskate, and think that's the best way to be. You're wrong.

[elalis]

Plugging tyres have no implications on the performance of the tyre unless the nail is near the sidewall. If the nail is near the sidewall, replace it. I've punched 2 tyres now and it has lasted me the full wear of the tyre with very spirited riding. Great video Dude.

[MadStu]

I want one!

[johnnylongsock]

Nice video

[GuitarMasterGraeme]

@Spigs0964

lol dirty twat xD

[SlyRonin]

when I got a nail through my tire my mechanic said it was unsafe to patch it? I guess that could be because they charge 110/hour...

[GuitarMasterGraeme]

@SlyRonin

Yeah i just leave it lol o.O

[Kodiak31415]

I was browsing the Stop and Go website and in their tutorial they say that you should pull fairly hard on the plug, enough that the stem stretches out to about 2 inches or so. In your video you say that to pull lightly. Have you had some sort of issue with the plugs failing or popping back out if you pull on in too hard?

[Tvinky]

I will buy this one - musthave thing when traveling on bike :)

[tuber188]

I have this and let a friend of my use it to repair the rear tire on his

goldwing ... over 10,000 miles later .. still plugged and holding up good!

I also have the air charger that plugs into the power adapter.

[robinphillips]

This was great Atlas, i finally understand how to use these, i hear alot about plugs but have yet to try now, your a star Atlas, thanks...

[KillerPenguin01]

I will definitely buy one of those!!! I could have used one about 6 months ago!!

[svengalie]

ordered one, looks easy - why do i waste my money taking it to a shop?

[robinphillips]

Because mechanics need idiots like you and me ;-) I'd order one but the postage is the same price as the kit, bloody crazy ;-(

[apricotsnms516]

thanks! btw did it work?

[AtlasRider]

It didn't work for the particular puncture I had, but I've used it about 5 times in the past two years without any issues.

[F8H]

Did it not work for it being angled?

[AtlasRider]

Right, it didn't work for the angled puncture, but those kinds of punctures are fairly rare (for me at least)

[thesmellofnapalm22]

I gotta get me one of those!

[ZMagic97]

I've done similar with my dad on his Harley but using a "standard" kit. Very good video and the tools are great to have with you in case you have a flat in a bad spot. I always of course recommend getting a new tire ASAP afterward since a plugged tire on a bike is more dangerous than one on a car (even though I've gone 2K+ miles on a plugged car tire). Better safe than sorry!

[sunnyjason]

meh, Id just take the tire off and patch it.

patching a tire is like 15 bucks

[AtlasRider]

This is useful for repairing a tire while you are in the middle of no where.

[ToastToGo]

Very useful video. I may have to get one of those.

[cashstore1]

So this is different from a standard plug kit as it has a mushroom seal inside the tire? If thats the case it would be much safer. I have used the standard types that you use for cars and never had a problem with the plug. That nail looked pretty thick though. I would want the mushroom seal for that tire. Where did you buy it?

[AtlasRider]

Right, I think I ordered it from Stop and Go's site. Go google it.

[Fudmottin]

That's pretty useful. What about the glue and N2 or CO2 inflator gadget? Are those included?

[AtlasRider]

I have a portable tire pump that hooks up to my battery to fill up the tire. I have heard mixed reviews about the CO2 cartriges

[mhks68]

1:51 FASTER BABY FASTER...Sorry Atlas I had to!

Anyway this is always a last resort...right?

[AtlasRider]

Yea, it's mainly useful for emergencies while you are in the middle of no where
