Dude you crack me up! Why do you post stuff about your scooter in here when theres about 4 scooter forums that could answer your questions better?

Im not having a nag just it don't figure with me!

Anyway, buy some of that slime stuff and fill your tyres with it. Stopped anymore punctures.

The tyre on my NSR , rear one has a total of 6 nails in it Shocked

While I generally don't have much 'respect' for scooters per-sae, plenty of the people did start on scooters and some still have them. As it's a general bike related question, I don't see a problem in it, if it was a scooter question, then it would probably make more sense to ask in scooter forums just because they are more likely to know the answers Smile

Buy some slime for the tire. it can stop most small leaks straight away.
I got a nail in mine the other day. Took it out and it had a really slow puncture. Feckin Avon's can't be repaired ither. So bought some Flat-Mate stuff and it seems to be fine now Very Happy

i tried slime and it wasn't great, ultra seal is supposed to be the best and your tyres wear slower with it because it disperses heat better than air.
