Ok. I’m going to state it up front - we don’t carry this product-of-the-week. Our technicians hate this stuff. I’m talking SLIME. SLIME is that green stuff that seals up tires that would otherwise result in a “bad riding day.” So, in my book, it can’t be all that bad. But, just wait until you have to change the tire. That green slimy stuff has to go somewhere. Having seen the process down in the shop, I can attest that a significant amount of what you put in the tire ends up on the technician as he attempts to change your tire. But, hey, this stuff will get you off the road and down the road. So, I’m risking the wrath of the gang and recommending it.

SLIME has put out a special motorcycle kit. It’s compact. And, it’s pretty much everything you need when it comes time to SLIME up including a 300psi air compressor. I’m thinking about the only other thing you might need is a good pair of needle-nose pliers to pull a nail, screw, or other offending object stuck in your tire.

Here is the caution and disclaimer. First off. Don’t skimp on tires - your life depends on it. Get a flat, replace the tire. SLIME, plug kits, and other temporary fixes are just that - temporary. This may or may not work with tubed tires. Check out SLIME’s site for compatibility and further product information. You can even buy it direct from them online.
