How To Patch Your Tire

[Grumpy Goat]

So today I was moving the S1000R in my garage when I noticed that it felt quite sluggish and I also noted that the tire looked low on pressure. So I checked it and it had 4 psi so I looked for the problem and found a small nail in good rubber halfway between centreline and the side knuckle. I got out my RS's Stop-N-Go plugger kit and long story short, wasted 3 plugs in my attempts to plug this tire. The plugs were coming out when I pulled the tool out. This never happened before. The plugs may be a little dried out since the pack was opened.

So I decided to give the kit that was bought for the S1000R a go for the very first time:

   

Worked like a charm the first time around, and it looks like the plug is holding pressure too. I will check it in a few days to see how it looks.

   

Probably get another kit like this for the RS.
