Slime

Gadzooks Mike · 06-04-2007, 01:45 PM

Has anyone used Slime(tm) as a repair on a tube-type motorcycle tire (GZ or other)? I know I'm not going to disassemble a tire in case of flat along the road, so if the Slime don't work, it will be a tow to the nearest motorcycle shop. Was just curious if anyone has ran into this and what the results were if you did.

Next year I'll have these wheels sealed and get some tubeless tires.

Can't say I've used it, but I'm sure it works, atleast temporarily (I wouldn't rely on it.)

The GZ's stock tires have tubes in em?

Yes. Spokes=Tubes.

wow... that's a good idea. Might as well buy one and put it in the saddle bag in case some tire emergencies happens. thanks!

Yeah, they make different types, one specifically for tubes. I've got a bottle of that and a CO2 inflator and hope to never need it. Was just curious if anyone has used it. All the ads in the world can't make up for an honest experience!

Thanks!!

Take out the tube and patch it.

The tire will need to be inspected for a small nail or screw too.
