Hi

Today i but some tyre slime into the rear tyre of my bandit to stop a very slow leak.
After doing this i took it for a ride and everything felt good and just recently took it for ride up to high speed and didnt feel any vibrations

but after reading other sites mainly american they have said not to use it in motorcycle tyres as it will put out the balance of the tyre

has anyone else used this stuff in there bike?


Thanks in advance

This argument will continue ad infinitum, however I used to use bluegoo in my last bike and it caused no problems. I dont use it anymore because it is just way too messy at tire change time. I like it for tube applications and use it in all my dirtbikes.

This type of question brings out personal opinions as "facts" so here is my "fact". Laughing
Great for dirt bikes but I'd prefer a puncture repair on a high speed or sustained speed road bike. My PR2 on the rear has about 2,000km left and is loosing 5psi a week. Its not a biggie to check and pump up in my garage before a ride or at the start of the week.

The goo shouldn’t cause any balance issues if used correctly but its like painting the side of your house because there is a small spot where the paint is lifting on one corner. I'd also be replacing the valve at the next tire change after using the goo too.
