To goop or not to goop ?

[Uncle fester]

Hi should I use goop in my tyres.? I seem like a good idea and would save a lot of agro with punctures .

Hi

Having seen one of these leak badly once used at high speed I am a bit dubious about it.

I would rather know a about a puncture rather than the tyre keep it a secret until I am going fast enough for it to be really lethal.

All the best

I personally wouldn't want to use the stuff EVER.
However if I was forced to, I would accept it for my car and get the tyre changed when possible.
On a bike, I'd be looking to change it ASAP.

From experience from friends ect.
My opinion could be completely unfounded, yet it's what I would do.

Sickpup is the person to ask about this.

watched a mate throw some in his R6 results were very fucking amusing 3 days of his bike bouncing everywhere at anything over 60 he had the messy task of removing it all haha easier and cheaper to just carry an emergency plug kit under the seat

All of this is nonsense..

thats your opinion and thats fair enough but
after actually being there and witnessing it myself i wouldn't even think of putting anything in my tires now.

For the same price as temp tyre plug kit its just not worth the risk to me.

I used the Puncturesafe stuff in the tyres on the SV and never had a problem, or a puncture. I havent used it on the Daytona and I did get a puncture that the sealant would have easily sorted, instead it was a trip to my local tyre fitter with the bikes back wheel for a patch.

I've used the puncture safe stuff as well, bought it from a motorbike show. All you need to do is check your tyres often like you would normally for nails and screws, there's usually a tell tale smudge of green oozing out. Of course its not a permanent seal, but it'll get you home without any catastrophes.

Good friend of mine runs goop in his CBR600RR, never had an issue and we are regularly well into triple figures ( track of course!) so if it caused an issue at 60mph id suggest someone did something wrong....
