Tyre Nails

Sigh..... 
Any thoughts from anyone if this is pluggable?
Looking at getting a mushroom plug, or taking recommendations

Looks like a substantial hole.  I plugged a large hole with three inserts on my LTF-250 four-wheeler but then, it doesn't usually get over 20kmph.  I'm not sure I'd trust a Bandit tyre with a large hole plugged given the speed they are capable of.  Shame, looks like plenty of tread left.

Yep

Lots of tread left  
Guess I should just ante up and get a new one. (Considering I do the F3 daily on it)

Might plug it with a home job, and do a few burnouts

I wouldn't risk it.

F3 or M1? (Ie stupid name change)

Yeah, forgot. M1 Pacific Motorway.... 
Can you believe they spent $15M to change the name?

Get the dealer to put a mushroom plug in. Honestly they last for 10k kms - the worst you will get is maybe a slow leak after a long while. The shop will know if it is safe to plug or not.

I used to get punctures every couple of months on my GS500 from going in the breakdown land. One tyre ended up with three plugs haha.

Mate I have done more k's than I care to think about on tyres that have been mushroom plugged and never had an issue.
At worst you'll lose a lb or 2 a week. The shop wont plug it if it's not safe to do so.

Mate I pulled a roofing screw out of my nearly new Pr3 rear tyre a few months ago. Plugged it with licorice stick style plug. First one leaked so put a thicker one in.
Intention is to get a mushroom plug one day, but it not losing air and not effecting the tyre. I've ridden on it heaps since with no problems

My first Pr2 on the rear copped a hole the same as that at 2000 ks. I took it to Beaurepaires here in Wang and the guy said not a problem. He plugged it from the inside with what looked like a huge rubber thumb tack. I got around 24,000 ks out of that tyre and I didn't slow down.

yeah mate, I`m the same as Kaupy,

had a new tyre with 500 on it, I took the bare tyre down to Bob Jane, and they fixed it properly,

got full life out of the tyre, and I didn`t hesitate on speed either!
