Flat tires
Yes you are correct.
We would never recommended repairing a motorcycle tire especially the front.
I've heard of people using patches on the rear, but in my opinion I would spend the extra money on some new tires just to be safe.
You can order some through us or another company, but we definitely recommend replacing the tire in that situation,
Hope this helped!

I was going to make a similar thread. I only have 11,500 on my rear tire. I'll put 40lbs of air into it. Ride a bit. And a week later, I'm down to 25lbs.
I'm thinking, just bite the damn bullet and get a new rear tire. The front, is as solid as ever.

If you are told it cannot be repaired, then ask why! I would add that a worn tyre is much more susceptible to puncture than a newish one, so do check tread depth if you have a puncture. The rear is also more likely to puncture, as the front flicks up a nail or screw, which the rear promptly stamps on!

As far as repair goes, safety becomes and issue and most shops (including mine) will not repair/patch/plug tires from a liability standpoint. Call your tire manufacturer and ask if they approve repairing your tire. When you only have 2 wheels on the ground safety is the biggest concern.
