By removing the screw, you will now have a slow leaking puncture. Any plugs or repairs will be a stop gap measure, and as the rear tyre is so important for grip and handling I'd save my money and get a new tyre. ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |

I have had a BT020 puncture repaired on my ZRX1100 with no problems. As long as it isn't near the sidewall you will have no worries. ____________________ Andy Sez....

I've had a puncture in a 020 about 400 miles into the tyre! I couldn't decide if to repair or relpace. In the end i got it repaired, and for the first few weeks i was very concious and nervous. I then went out for a blast with a faster than me mate, totally forgot about the repair and had a good old run. That increased my confidence 1000% used the tyre till the end of its life like i'd use an un-punctured tyre, without a problem |

IMO there`s a 1000 variable`s on this subject.
I`ve used repairs a few times now, and i cant complain about them. They work. This isn`t the `70`s with dodgy cross plys etc. We`ve recently had a team of builders move through the estate(im lucky enough to live with the lovable council ), and i picked up a screw a week for 3 weeks(Always the rear too). Try chasing the council or builders for a new tyre. I simply cannot afford to throw out £80 odd a week on a tyre. £15 was bad enough.
However, i don`t exactly use hot rubber on my bike, nor does it have well over 100 bhp at the back wheel, so if i had something with a little more zest, then maybe i wouldn`t.
The guy at the tyre centre says they are autobahn tested so that must count for something.(I wonder who was mad enough?) ____________________ Tatty(but loved) NC 24. |

Tyre plugs are supposedly guaranteed for the life of your tyre.
I personally have ad no problems with them and would highly recommend. ____________________ Http://www.manchesterbikers.net |

Hi
It is not illegal to repair a ZR rated tyre, but it is against the British Standards the tyre places are meant to work to.
I have had quite a few of them repaired without any problems. Likely far safer than using one of those goos that you add to a tyre to prevent punctures.
One issue is the position of the hole. Most places are likely to refuse to put a repair close to another repair. Also plenty will refuse to repair a hole from a screw rather than a nail (the screw is more likely to chew up the tyre internals as it goes through).
All the best
