73anth Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 i have a slow puncture in my rear tyre, i took it to my local tyre centre and they said they were not allowed to fix motorbike tyres??? he said it was commonplace at most places he knew. anyone else come across this?

4ourtea Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yep, heard that one myself a good few years ago! HSE and all that stuff... I suggest you pump the tyre up with a good few pounds in it and immerse it in a tank of water, preferably with a little washing up liquid in it. Lift it back out, be patient... you'll see the bubbles more easily when you then lift it out to look for the leak thanks to the w-up liquid. You can then stuff one of theose dog t*rds into the offending hole and seal it. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 My money is on the spokes leaking. For large tank use the bath but preferably when the woman who must be obeyed is out shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Anth I'm going to Warden Law for about 3 tomorrow, You and I need to discuss spanners and i'll explain why pulling a dog turd through from the inside would defeat the purpose of the dog turd. Is the puncture on the TYZ or the aprillia ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
