square box Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Took the R1 out for a blast other day and thought handling seamed a bit slow and sluggish, put it down to the cold weather so tyres coldish, got home and pushed bike into the garage and it felt a bit heavy! Checked rear tyre only 15 pound pressure checked it out and small nail sticking out so new tyre on way Square Box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 If done professionally, you can get the rear tyre plugged... (from the inside instead of out) Personally I would swap it but it depends what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
