I haven't had a flat yet but it seems like everytime I turn around I have to stop riding to replace parts. I travel alot so I don't have much time to work on it now that it's getting warm. But heck I wore out the back in 2 months from new to having white showing when I drove it home this wed. from work. But for all it cost it's the best fun I'll ever have.

dude, just like that! after about 100 miles on my 06, BAM! the nail or whatever wasn't in the tire, but i go to the garage to hop on and go for a ride,....nope, sorry! flat tire!
i filled it up, found the hole and plugged it. plugs are definetely not permanent, but if nothing else, you could plug the tire and ride it to get fixed no problem.

I have bad luck about crap like that too. I bought some nice ass tires for my car, only had 40 miles on it and got a screw. They are low profile and can't be patched. Had to spend another $200 on a new tire.

P, glad your back up... did the service mngr, talk to you about... patches ????? there arn't (i hear) the hot setup, espec. if you go fast, carve, ect. i seams to make alot of dif., where the punture is... center, side, and how, angle, obvious cord damage, ect. I would hate "eat'n a tire... but id' hate much more... have'n that tire delaminate at speed !!!!!!!!!! go on line ... and read up, plugs and patches, are generaly considerd a way to get you home and back off to the tire place. clean and free, Ripp'n Ps. check MAW or chapperal, best deals for me...

Same happened to me, 500 miles on a brand new bike. I plugged it, rode to the shop, paid $187 and figured that I got lucky it happened at home where Ihave a compresser and a car to get my bike going. At least it didn't go flat while you were screaming down the interstate.
