i have a 2003 r6 and last season before i winterized my bike i hit a nail. so i took it to a tire shop and they patched it up. do you guys think i need a new tire still. or jus keep ridin on it. and if i do need a new tire about how much $ will it run me

 

If your doin slow shiat, i dont think it would matter that much, for a rear tire. I dunno, i have never plugged my bike tires b4, never plan to either. Go to WWW.PARTS411.COM , they have great deals on good tires. I get my M1's from there like $80ish for the front,, and like $110ish for the rear. You have to pay shipping, but even with shipping, its cheaper than going and buying em from your local dealer. ~nick

 

If the tire shop put a patch-plug... I say ride it. The same thing happened to me about a month after I got my bike. (brand new) I got a new tire around 3500 miles later. I still did wheelies, burn-outs, and other crap. Your tire is no longer Z- rated so its up to you if you want stay under 100 mph. I rode the $hit out of mine. Unless you just have money to throw away... I say keep it. I'm sure the majority of the riders on the site would agree. Just my

 

id still ride it, but hey, i ride 'em till they fall off...but just like p-kidd said, just stay under 100mph, i mean it could hold but you never know. also, no that it is patched, it is no longer balanced so you might get some shakes at high speeds.

 

rode on a plug-patch for 3200 miles on the r6 and 2400 on the 1k and neither gave me any trouble. ride it! just (like my mom says) be careful!

 

if it is in the rear, run it...if it is in the front, change it

 

ride that bitch
