motorcycle tire repair with stop and go kit

A practical demonstration on how the stop and go tire plug kit is used to repair a puncture in an old tire before it is replaced with a new one.
With the thinner tire section this is the most demanding application.
And some tips at the end to facilitate a quick walk around quick pre ride inspection of vital fasteners.

It takes a lot less work and a lot less time to use a regular tire plug. Ream the hole, add lubricant to the plug, insert and pull out. Done!! And a heck of a lot cheaper !

Glad I saw this. Somehow it reminds me of a rivet. Rubber rivets! Hmmm

We never saw him air it up and spray the hole (or spit test, if water isn't handy) to test the seal, so we don't really know if it works.

these things work and they hold, with quite literally hundreds of miles on the tire post plug (real life experience). It prob wasn't the smartest idea, but it looks safe from how it's constructed. i would still definitely use rubber cement and not rely on tire pressure alone to keep it in place

That seems great for emergency use. I don't think I'd trust it for long term use though. Especially on Z rated tires. I like it though!

not gonna lie, i've ridden on one for quite a while. It was a 98 cbr 600 which was pretty much a stunt bike, and i bought it that way. didn't even realize the plug was there for a while, and even when i saw it, i didn't even know what it was until watching this video. i figured it was a plug, but was confused because i'd never seen a tire plug aside from the ones you use on car tires. but considering i spent 500 on the bike and didn't have it for very long, I decided to not replace tire. the bike went on for years with that same tire (passed around between friends) until the fateful day a squid crashed it into a curb. front tire was blown and forks bent, but the back tire still had that plug and held air

I wish I could actually see what he is doing below the screen.

Please don’t plug a motorcycle tire unless it is to just get you home and if you do use the old style plug kit you will get on the road much faster.
