What the others said. Tubeless tyres are repaired using internal patches ALL the time. Get yours patched & put tyre away until needed
The instructions are simple...

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Anyone mentioned tubes yet?

You must be really old to remember those things....you probably even remember kickstarters.....

It's been mentioned and vucanised patches. But apperently now the thing to do is burnouts and fuck a perfectly servicable tyre. Each to there own I guess.

Rogson, tyres are one of the most important things to get right on a motorcycle but when they go wrong they are the pits of the earth. I despise getting a puncture and am never happy about having to buy new ones when they wear out, but having to shell out for a new one within two months when the old one could have probably been repaired would boil my blood....i feel your pain!

I have never understood that myself either Bonez. There is more to wreck than just an old tyre when doing burnouts.
I guess it seems like a good idea at the time. ("Just High Spirits" they say.)

Almost had to do the exact same thing last week on my very barely 2 month old tyre.Rogson, tyres are one of the most important things to get right on a motorcycle but when they go wrong they are the pits of the earth.

Had a close look... as good motorcylists are meant to do to their bikes occasionally...and noticed something odd. there was a great big hunk of something in my tyre. Managed to dig it out, yep big hunk of brown glass (all you beer drinkers out there FEEL MY WRATH!)
...and theres another one, and another one, oh and yet more. BUT luckily, none had gone thru, got it checked over and all is okay. Amazing really!
Guess there is something to be said for that brand of tyre, all that glass and no puncture... yet anyway.

I tend to recall many, many stories of Diablos taking on punctures...what the hell is up with this? One more reason why I am not aching to try them out (at least not the standard ones, have heard better things about Corsas)

On a dirt bike maybe.
The Honda manual says don't repair tyres, replace them.
The others probably say the same.
Sprot bikes mostly run Z rated tyres. I don't think the Z rating applies once a tyre has been repaired.
Next time you're doing 200 plus you can wonder how that repair is going down there. Or you could run good tyres.
