Do you use Ride-On in tubed tires--the bike shown in your photo?

 

Dyna Plug kit and compressor, I was less than impressed with the ride-on in my tires unlike most of the people here.

 

"Less than impressed"......but no examples as to why?

 

I see no reason to add 3/4 of a pound of unsprung weight to a wheel that takes 7/8 of an ounce of weights to balance.

You can feel the balancing media shifting during rapid direction transitions.

If your wheel has a lateral balance imperfection the liquid does nothing to fix it.

There's debate as to tire integrity after a puncture. I''ll ride a plugged tire, I'll even ride one with 2 even 3 plugs spaced far enough apart but I want to know how many punctures I have in the tire and make an informed decision.

I change my own tires, the worst wheel tire combo I ever had to mess with took 1.5oz of weight, that was a friends GSX-R with a lateral imbalance to the wheel so you had to balance both one side was about 30 degrees offset from the other. His bike was always fun to change tires on.

 

My service tech recommended using that to balance and seal my tires when i had them done at 40000. Approaching 45000 and no issues. i'd recommend it.

 

I like the Ride On product. Works as advertised for me.

 

I carry the item below, cheap rubber plugs and some slime.
For an emergency, it might get you to safety.
I have rescued myself and others.

In my toolkit I have stuff to plug a hole in tire and also have the small Harley air compressor on board. If I can't fix it, I'll call for road service! I always keep check of my tires, looking for wear and making sure pressure if OK frequently. Nothing can ruin your day like a flat tire!

 

===================

On 3rd set of tires with ride-on,good stuff ,great balance but have yet to test it's sealing ability.

Also carry a small compressor & tire plug kit just in case too.
