TYRE SEALANTS

[ROVERT57]

Does any body use the ultraseal puncture preventer on thier bike , or have any experience with these products,
How do you put the stuff into your tyre

[Akuji]

it goes in via the valve - you get a tool to take the valve out then turn the wheel so the valve is offset to the bottom and pour in the CORRECT amount.

If you put too much in you will get a wheel wobble but with the right amount there is no trouble, I've been using it for a while in bike and car and works fine

Thanks Akuji
thiuoght it might be worth putting some in when touring abroad

[Akuji]

Yep - i would recommend it when touring for peace of mind but you should still check your tyres before every ride regardless

[Deano]

Gotta say I don't recommend it.

As I have said many times before if I get a problem with a tyre I want to know about it.

Check the speed rating of the product lads. And reconsider 'cos they will not be recommended for bikes that go over a certain speed (150mph I think). That would be a worry to me on the Nurburgring I can tell ya.

Nope not for me.

I do carry a puncture repair kit to get me to a safe place at easy speeds if I get a puncture.

Totally agree, Deano, mate.

Had a very bad experience about 3 years ago, and wouldn't touch it again.

There are numerous threads on here about these products, and the consensus has always been, "it's fine for a lot of bikes, but not those with the power of an "

Obviously, you pay your money, etc. etc.

Akuji is right correct measure is vital. I had some put in a ZX6R for a France trip. The guy said he had put a little extra in for me. I thought nothing of it untill abroad & found i had avery bad wobble at varying speeds mostly 100mph + spoilt my fun, never used it since.
