Flat rear tire

So last night my F'n tire went flat. I think it happened when i jump the R&R tracks but the landing was smooth. So I had to ride about a mile with the tire extremely low to flat. Should I just get the tire fixed or replace it? If I have to buy I a new tire I want to atleast be able to burn my old one off.

Use a tubeless tire plug kit to fix it. Some people say they hold up, others haven't had as good as luck. If you just want to burn it off, definately do that and get you a new tire, if not, might have someone that's experienced in how to do it right so you have a better chance of it holding up through the wear life of the tire.

yeah, plug it with that black tar **** anmd use the little tool. Then get your tire replaces asap. I had some of that **** and it still leaked under pressure, ie moving at a speed over 15-20mph....

Plug it, burn it, buy a new baby to throw on there......

Get a new tire.

Skip the tire burning up process unless you own a trailer and have your own tire changing equipment. You will end up doubling the labor cost having to fix it twice.

Also, your bike is new still. Some times the tire burns up, some times the motor burns up. Honestly, it's not that cool of a trick to begin with to risk an 03 on. If you had an old crunchy bike I'd say yeah, but just keep your ride nice.



that's my

I don't mind riding on a plug patch tire but I do ALOT of burnouts. If I didn't do them, I'd just get a new rear.

i had a tire down the the threads and i got a new tire and install $200 6 days later i let a friend ride my bike and he turned around in a gravel driveway and it flatended the tire. i got a new tire $180 they didn't charge for install. i also didn't get the tire back or i woulda tried to fix it. i had only been riding for like a month then so i didn't even think about keeping it to burn out and ****
