Tire plug and how to do it...??

So, 2 months after purchasing a $200 tire metzler @ the honda dealership, I wake up to a flat....Looks like a small slit, right in the middle of the tread pattern...What is the best tire patch/plug for the VFR? Will someone do a write up, or at least give me some advice...I know its not a good idea to do this, but the season is almost over, I am not planning on going 100mph and I want to get in a couple more rides before I have to replace the front tire..and most likely the rear as well...any advice will be appreciated...thanks in advance...

 

If it's a small hole like a screw or nail you can plug it. If it's a slit as you say then you would have to patch it from the inside. IMO I would toss a tire with a slit because it will probably only get bigger.

 

Ditto all

Looks like almost a 1/2 inch long slit...guess its better to see her with a flat than crash her trying to save a little money..any recomendations on the tire plugs?? I have to get the tire up to take it to the dealership...almost 45 miles for me to get to anything that says HONDA on the sign...

 

My advice is to bite the bullet and get some new kicks for your bike now or park it till next season. a plug or patch in a tire is an acceptible temporary fix if you are on a trip but you have to think if that $300 is worth totaling your bike, getting hurt, and maybe getting a passenger hurt or killed. especily if you ride agresivly.

 

Just to give a quick update:
I actually plugged the tire and have yet to have any issues...I actually have been riding 2-up quite regularly..I even took it to the track and raced the drag strip about 15 times with it....guess Im just lucky!!! I will be putting new shoes on her this winter...
