Am using RideOn in a GY Triple Tread on the VTX 1800. Picked up a large self drilling screw in the meat. Hole goes about 1/4" but the RideOn stopped AND plugged the leak. No repair- just some air and it is all good. Balances the tire too. Cost effective in high mileage tires. Have it in the front too since I'm DDS

Yay! Another kudo for Ride-On. I run it in the back for lateral imbalance, the leak plugging feature being the bonus for me. 1/4" hole; for real? I know they
advertise that, but hey, you know how ads work.

Well maybe 7/32" Laughing
Was a big screw and surprised me too. Holding air just fine.

Purchased mine at BikeBandit.com
They sent me the ATV stuff which is being used front and rear. Seems to be working great and was $20 a quart-- yes-- quart.

You know, in another forum, one guy was aggressively AGAINST Ride-On or tire sealants. He said he wanted to KNOW when his tire had a problem.
So...while he's sitting on the side of the road waiting for an expensive tow truck to come scratch the crap outta his bike and pay some tire wizzard
a small fortune for "helping" him out, I'll be home in front of my 'pooter or tv with a cup of rum, tire sealed and saved.
Just who is the winner here?

I'm with you. If the tire is damaged bad enough for the RideOn to not work you will know about it. Since it works I'm fine with it.
