Repairing / Plugging A Motorcycle Tire 100409

Uploaded by Spencerian on May 26, 2010
It helps to carry around a little tire plug kit on your motorcycle. You never know when you'll catch a nail and need to do a road side emergency repair. This video shows you how to plug a hole in your tire. I forgot to add that you don't need to insert the plug in that deeply. One inch is enough. Also, don't leave the plug dangling out. It *MUST* be trimmed. If it isn't trimmed, it will work itself out, especially on a motorcycle tire.

chicken dance in the middle was the highlight for me

Those kits often come with what looks like patches with a sticky backing, yet I’ve never seen anyone use those, what are they really for?

Hang-on, if you threaded the plug THROUGH the needle, how come it didn't come out when you withdrew the needle?

dont forget to twist the plug once you insert it, that way when you pull the plug inserter out the plug will stay seated well because of the knot created. It will also not pull out then.

@DucatiS2R1000S haha... you like the chicken dance, eh? As far as burning the ends down, I don't see why you can't do it... but trimming is does what you need to do. Also, the rubber cement activates the vulcanization process, so it's a chemical melting/fusing thing that occurs in the rubber. I suppose if you didn't have the rubber cement, burning could be a way to go to completely seal the tire.

@loopyboopoo1 I'm on oahu. Yeah, the patch saves the tire until you get a new one.
