    Suggestion #1: deflate the tire first, before removing the foreign object, so that it doesn’t fly out at you as you remove it. Suggestion #2: Use some tire repair rubber cement on the plug before inserting it into the tire. It’ll lubricate the plug and the rubber in the tire, and make it easier to insert the plug. It will also help seal the repair. Suggestion #3: After getting pressure back into the tire, sponge a little soapy water on the repair site to check for leaks. Suggestion #4: remember that the credit-card-sized contact patch on each motorcycle tire is your only connection to the pavement. Replace the tire as soon as you can after performing the road-side repair. Don’t jeopardize your safety on what is supposed to be a temporary repair.

      Great feedback. Thank you! For #4 Yes I am getting the tire replaced so I took the opportunity to try and plug it the first time for experience. 😊 Did #3 but couldn’t get it on the video 😔 my camera died but I could’ve mentioned it. I’ll absolutely keep in mind #1 and #2 seems like that would’ve helped the process and the struggle 😁.
      Thank you very much for taking time to write a feedback 👍🙏

    I would suggest that you don't let all the air out of the tyre. Before removing the foreign object, get prepared. Have your reaming tool to hand. Immediately after removing the nail (or whatever) use you finger to prevent the air from coming out of the tyre and as fast as you can, insert the reaming tool. It is a lot easier to use this tool if the tyre is still inflated to some extent as tyre doesn't collapse when you apply pressure to it. If possible, do not let the tool come out of the hole as you file it. Try and make the hole as big as you can to ease the insertion of the repair plug. Again by prepared. Before you remove the tool, prepare your plug on the insertion tool and only remove the reaming tool when you are ready to insert the plug.

      That is great suggestion 😊 Deflated tire definitely made it harder to the extent that I had to mention it. This practice session definitely helped learn more. Thank you for taking time to comment. 👍

      Haha!! Thanks. This one was real pain. But at least I got some practice before changing that tire.

    Thanks for the vid! Next time I'm about to change tires, I think I'll poke a few holes and practice plugging them.

    Damn youtube! Everything looks so easy until you really need to do the job yourself. That's why I stopped being an electrician, plumber, mechanic, etc.. :)

      Haha. True. I was getting tires changed anyway so I though maybe I should give this tool a shot an try to fix it on my own for the first time. It was tough. But the community gave me good tips and tricks, it will definitely be easier if I ever have to plug the tire again.
