I first used Ride-On when I had the random under 35mph "decel shake" in the front end that I couldn't figure out what was causing it.
I got the recommendation to try Ride-On to see if the problem was possibly a tire balance issue.

I figured for $14 it was cheaper than just replacing the tire.
I added it to the front tire and the shake never came back so apparently my tire had an issue.

When I changed the tire I didn't even think about it, I just went ahead and told the installer not to balance it and then I added Ride-On to it.
I've been using it now for years.

I've never had a puncture so I can't vouch for the sealant function but the balance function certainly works.
I think "hoofnhog's" post vouches for the sealant function clearly enough.

I have two bottles still sitting in the cabinet waiting for the next tire change.
I've found "motorxoutlet" on e-bay as the best place to order it from.

BTW- I just add 1 bottle (8oz) to each tires.
I think for the rear 8oz may be a tad light but it works for me.

I think it would be okay. I'd probably do the same thing myself.

Wifey and I just bought new bikes and it will be going in the tires on both bikes on my next day off. I have been using it for a few years and like it much better than the bads

From their website


BALANCE / SEVERE / TUBE:
You may add
up to 25% more Ride-On tire sealant for
balancing without wheel weights, or in severe
applications.
We recommend adding 25% more product for
tube tire applications

Same for me when watching the J&S jack video when the guy jumps on the front fender.

Does this stuff gunk up the inside of the wheel? I've been told not to use (green) slime as it's a total mess to replace a tire. Seems like this stuff is the same.

All the videos and such says it doesn't. Just creates a "ring" around the inside of the tire. It doesn't stay fluid

I've never heard of this stuff. Sounds like a great product!


I'm assuming you have to go for a ride right away to distribute the product before it cures?

I've used RideOn for my last 2 bikes with over 100000 miles of road time. Love it. Dennis Kirk quit selling it for some reason. Now I have order my tires and rideOn seperately. Come on Dennis Kirk this product works.
