Wtf!!!
Plugging a tire does require some common sense, not every repair is one that can be relied on. I have used this type of plug since the 80's, they didn't have a disclaimer then and it doesn't show up on JP's site. Just for a reference, I buy car tires that have life time repair and they use plugs because they work better than patches.

Well I picked that link because it was shorter. Unlike this: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/200-...ADybduKtbw_wcB

"This is considered a temporary repair on all street vehicles. "On the Wheel" repairs are classified as emergency only. The tire must not be run more than 100 miles at speeds no greater than 50 m.p.h. until the tire is dismounted, inspected, and permanently repaired or replaced."
and
"Safety experts all agree that a punctured and/or plugged motorcycle tire should be replaced as soon as possible. That is our opinion also."
If we were FTF, I could explain it better. I'm not typing what the first dealer said to me when I bought my first TWW.
I will say that I haven't bought a tire in the last 35,000 miles, since spring of 2010. The last one was a blowout on a tire with less than 1000 miles on it at 75MPH on I-64 in Kentucky, 112° outside. Free tow, half price hotel, free tire.
How many tires have you bought?
Even if it didn't, there may only be a thousandth thickness of rubber not pierced.
I'd still change it.

I had around 900 miles on a new Dunlop 402 rear tire when a piece of metal caused a flat while on entrance ramp to Interstate. Had Indy shop plug it, installed new tube, and ran it for 11000 more miles with out a worry. Back in the day, as a poor boy, I rode on plugged tires quite often.
From the manufacturers web site (http://www.stopngo.com/):
"This is considered a temporary repair on all street vehicles. "On the Wheel" repairs are classified as emergency only. The tire must not be run more than 100 miles at speeds no greater than 50 m.p.h. until the tire is dismounted, inspected, and permanently repaired or replaced."

If the tire had a lot of life left I would install a tube.
