Can Tyreweld fix a Motorcycle Puncture?

- You are out and about enjoying your ride and then you get a screw in the back end! Ain't nobody got time for that! This was the perfect opportunity to find out if you can use Tyreweld on a motorcycle puncture just to get you home? It in not sold for or intended to be used with motorcycles but I have always wondered would it work.
I take no responsibly if you try this and have any problems. I would also be far more cautious if it were the front and not the rear!

I just hit 78,000 subs! HUGE THANKS! Can we get to 100k this year? Smash that sub button to help me on my way! 😁👍
i had my front tyre rub a gash in my innertube 4cm (almost 2 inches) and used same type of stuff in it and it got me home all 60 km i just filled the glue in ,rode to nearest gas station and filled it up with ear and all worked good, used it a week before i changed the tube ,no problem , but am considering change to tubeless setup
This year? No problem I think.
Just convert those rims to tubeless, a bit of strong tape will do the job
What’s the chances that tyre shop is throwing random screws on the road hahaha
More direct marketing 😂
Glen Brown exactly 😂
I wouldn't even be surprised if someone actually did this. There are some dirty fucking criminal cunts out there
Yep...the same thing is known to have been the case with windshield companies. On a sunday night, a few windshields would be cracked with a hammer a few roads away...and guess where the owners went on monday morning..??
Interesting video and nice to know it gets you out of trouble! Anyway few years back I bought one of those ‘mushroom’ plug tyre puncture repair kits, it’s a little tricky to do on the roadside but it’s a much better and safer fix. Also whilst not recommended I rode the tyre on that repair plug for a few thousand miles before needing to change the tyre.
Tried the same stuff here in OZ. It states too ride for 30km at avarage speed too rotate the foam and seal propper. Then add air as soon as possible. It also stated it can be driven on for multiple 100 miles/km's
Didnt work for me as i didn't have a hole in my rear as i thought. In my case it was a stuffed valve and the foam exited the tire between the rim and valve.
I didn't notice Some of it got on my exhaust and burnt too my chrome exhaust.... looked like burned cheese hahaha.
I carry one with me for a puncture emergencie fix now.
Good vid mate and glad ya got yourself home.
I had a back puncture took the nail out and put the tyro weld in, and used it for ever. Its good stuff.It just plugs the puncture from the inside
Fantastic ingenuity. I'd have been ringing recovery myself. Well done Spicy 👍👍👍
Well that's good to know. I keep an emergency can with me just-in-case. Not needed to try it.
(Tubeless) Tyres can be reused/plugged after tyreweld, it says so on the can - it's just most tyre fitters don't like having to remove the residue.
Cans can be less then a fiver in supermarkets.
I will be getting a can for when I got greenlaning. Even if it just get me back to the main road its a win haha
I want the end sequence with the birds on the beach as a screensaver!!
Beach birdies are very relaxing to watch, thanks for mentioning it as had my nose in the comment section and missed it first time around
Good to know that works when you in a sticky situation, great video as usual even if did cost you a tube wouldn't wish any biker to get a nail / screw in their tyre. Stay safe
The reason tyre fitters don't like foam repair is if you have to repair with a inner patch on a tubeless tyre it won't adhere I've used it more than once on bikes and it lasted for thousands of miles on tubeless of course in fact I always carry a can In the panniers . Top vid by the way 👍
The patch will adhere to the inner tube fine if you scour off off the dried goop first.
Wonder if the stuff also messes with the rim if fitting tubeless tyres.
Good to know there's a solution for tube tires that doesn't require pulling the tube and patching in the field. For tube tires, I use regular car tire plugs.
There’s a product called Slime It’s Green you put it in as soon as you fit a tyre even from new.
I paid for a similar product but in a cars tyres. They would never balance consistently after that. I wouldn't recommend it. It could also mask a dangerous puncture/hole that you would be oblivious too. Regards Paul Fowell.
I used that in my tyer and it was in there for 1 year and if you have cube in your tyer you can bye gupe for your tube so when you get a flat like a screw in it you pull the screw out and then just pump it up it will fill the hole I have it in my tyers love the stuff
I remember when the future of Derek on this channel was a tab wobbly, im glad we still get to see it today.
Haha yep he's a problem child you might say, that's why I got the JX6 but I couldn't sell the DR it's too much fun!
I`ve used tyreweld for punctures in my Vespa scooter tyres (with inner tubes),and it has always worked perfectly right up until its time for a new tyre several years down the road.
Good to know thanks as I carry a can of that when out on the lanes and wasn't sure if would work on tubes nice one spicy......................👍
you pushed your lock there trying to go of road with it , the stuff meant to get you some where to get the tire fixed , will only last for a short time , and here's a tip for you use the complete can next time and always leave the screw , nail or what ever in the hole
P.S. the brand Green Slime works best and lasts the longest ( some times for days if it's warm out ) we have it here in the States but don't know if you have it in the U.K. good luck
I did use the whole can once the pressure in the tyre is in equilibrium what's in the can it's not going to pump anymore out.
Interesting experiment, I had less luck with a nail on my Triumph a while back, the gloop the AA shoved in spat out the hole and went all over the bike, had a flat by the time I got home too
lol
Got slow puncher too lol just used orange seal about hour ago so see how goes. Iv been pumping up before and after work because didnt wanna use weld again and pay for new tyre plus fitting.. Might have to yet 🤔
You'll be fine used it many many times over the years
Just used this stuff on a Triumph Daytona 675 on Pirelli Supercorsa tyres. it did the job and got me 100km home. The tyres are pretty much knackered anyway so will get them replaced.
I was 3 hours away from home and put 1 and a half cans of tyre weld in my tyre and some air obviously and it got me back no problem!
If you stick a tube in you are supposed to get a mushroom plug , but for safety I'd get a new tyre ,. You can get something called glup. Which you can use before you get a puncture , you let the air out of your tyre first , then put the glup in and then put the required pressure in , it's a preventative so if you run over something like a nail or screw it seals the tyre from the inside .
I mean this in a nice way, That was good to see, a proper test and result. RSM8
Make the most of a situation ay, I don't think I would want to do it on purpose to find out haha
Halfords were mistaken about turning it off. I swear by Tyreweld, and on the occasions that I've used it I've only put half in then turned off the nozzle. I would disagree about using it on a bike with an inner tube. I used it in an emergency on my Dragstar and it was a mistake, didn't work at all. I've used it on a tyre with no inner tube, on a car admittedly, and never touched the tyre again until I needed to change it anyway. You were lucky to get home so a good result.
@spicy noticed on 1 of your previous videos you showed the sprocket on the drz is that a snell sprocket?
No it's a JT
@@spicy110 have you heard of Snell any idea if they are any good ?
Heard of but don't know anything worth adding sadly.
If you made your wheels tubeless you could fix a puncture in about 10 minutes with the stop and go system, I use it all the time when ever I get a puncture.
But I also use a little of the foam which makes it a permanent fix with a recommended max speed of 50 which I have exceeded up to 70 mph not advised to do though.
But if you are mostly riding around town or at slower speeds the stop and go works extremely well, and each puncture costs pennies to fix.
I know as covered in the video I made after this that is now live on my channel as of 5 mins ago 🙂👍
Have you tried a Dynaplug kit (from the US)? They claim it repairs certain punctures without the need to take the wheel off the bike and it's a permanent fix.
This is a tubed tyres, not possible to plug.
In the 'old days' (before 'elf 'n safety and legal liability concerns) that tyre repair place you broke down next to might have plugged that tyre and patched the tube. But today, not a chance!
Interestingly in the UK the regulations state that a repair should be made to a hole no bigger than 3mm on a motorcycle tyre. That size damage is very small, and many punctures (including that screw puncture?) are considerably larger. Lucky you had a Halfords not too far away...
Used to get tyres plugged in Belfast all the time, literally all the time Belfast roads are shocking. Then it seemed like all off a sudden they all got a memo to stay away from bikes.
If you just change the tube, make sure you get the tyre plugged too as water will get into the belts and rust them, causing a big, nasty bulge. And by plugged I dont mean the push in types, as it will just rub a hole in the tube over time. Get a mushroom plug and do it that way.
I worked in the tyre industry for 4 years and have seen the issues mentioned above first hand on multiple occasions so I'm not being a 'know it all TH-cam mechanic' or being overly cautious here 😂
It has already been fixed and yes of course I had it patched in the inside. 👍
@@spicy110 Patch or plug/patch? A patch on it's own is pretty much useless
Patch just to seal water, its not going to come unstuck. If it were a tubeless 100% plug.
@@spicy110 a patch will not stop water ingress and corrosion to the belts
Good to know that you can use it in tube tryes .one of my bikes has tubes and to TBO always a worry when out on it ,but not any more .i for one was glad of your flat rubber !!sorry dude.
Damn, not seen a spicy110 video for a long time, how's it going dude!
where in the uk do you live to have to travel across a monster bridge like that?
Hayling island
I've used tyre weld and it get you out of a jam , used it on tubed and tubeless, just Remember to stick more air in it .
I got a flat on the front tyre just outside Bolton when I was heading from the CCM factory I got myself the biggest bottle of Holt's tire weld I could get took the nail out of the tire let it go flat and stuck the tire weld in .....I got about another 130 mile just outside of North wales before I pulled over and topped it up ... was on the boat for 3 hours then another 120 from Dublin to Belfast with out stopping
The stuff works well just leaves a god awful mess lol
Never use this on anything with tpms it screws the sensors, with car tyres it makes a mess of the tyre machines too
Did not work for me on tubeless tyre left screw in rode at low speed only got me about 20 miles of the 40 I had too go maybe I just did not use it properly
Luck of the draw I guess
It will probably have worked better without the screw in, as the screw will move as you rode and keep releasing air. I have a can of Motul tyre puncture repair fluid - not had to use it yet!
Are the Michelin pilot roads in this video good tyres in the wet?
On this bike they were ok but I know there are better options for the wet. If your bike weighs more these may do better for you.
@@spicy110 well my bike weighs about 120kg😂 but the tyres are thinner so should be a bit grippier in the wet from what I understand
I would live to see the inside of the tire
i once rode 140 miles on a rear flat it knackerd my rear wheel bearings
It works on any tyre. Just take it easy till you get home or the garage.
Its shit having a tubed tyre. works on tubeless. Had the same on my DRZ,. I use puncture safe in my Bandit.
Running goop on my daytona - any thoughts?
Hi. Goop is ok. But long term it affects the rims on alloy wheels. When i say long term i mean if its in the wheel for a few years. It eventually corrodes the alloy leading to pressure loss at the rim of the tyre. It happened to my old lady's harley. If you change youre tyres every couple of years it and renew the goop ( obviously) it should be no problem.
@@heywhotsgoinon8286 I did not know that - thanks. I heard that it affects the wheel balance.
i did exactly this and rode 3 thousand miles on that back tyre, after about 100 miles or so it did feel wierd but i got used to it after a while, i'd say try it out and see how it feels, would be good to see someone talk about it!
EDIT: i did remove the screw before the foam, dunno if that made a difference?
In theory it will work removing the screw but as I only had 8miles to go I thought leave it in for the best chance haha
Spicy is Spicy
It has been known
A tubed tyre? Do they sell something called "Finnilec" which is a silicone spay (in a can) that you inject straight into the valve and fill the tube? Okay so "tyreweld" is the same stuff I was describing. That's the sort of thing we used to carry in the 1970's and 80's before we had tubeless tyres. Its brilliant and really does save your bacon. You could take the screw out and it still should work. So well in fact that you could drive around on it for ages no sweat. There is another type for tubeless tyres now I am told which doesn't leave any residue. You are allowed to add air to it if it doesn't seem hard enough. Dude....come on.....A warm tyre after riding? You didn't study physics at school did you?
Get tubeless tyres, I'm about to put goop in mine, but always carry a can of tyre weld and a puncture repair kit when riding.

@@spicy110 I had a triumph Thunderbird with spoked which I had to seal the spoke nipples, and it was tubeless, why not change up yours, would save you a lot of hassle, also for future using that stuff, remove the nail then add the sealant making sure the hole is at the bottom, so it settles on the hole, then travel at the set speed for so many miles, it allows the chemical to bond, you're then fine to ride.
How convenient, a screw just happen to be on the road right before a tire store. Hmmm 🤔 Wonder how often that happens... Wonder how many screws happen to find them selves on the road right around that area... Not saying, but cha know 😉
Hahaha tbh I think I picked it up a fair distance away and it just took time to go down.
@@spicy110 You'd be surprised how quickly a tubed tyre deflates, most of the air leaks out where the valve stem goes through the rim, so when there's a hole in the tube there's nothing to stop the air leaking out very quickly like there is with tubeless. That's one of the reasons they're not very often used anymore.
The valve stem isn't lose its has a nut claiming it in place. I started noticing a funny feeling a ways down the road but thought probably just mud, sadly not haha
Let use see the alloys in 3 months that's when your paint starts to flake or it was for me
woks fine in tubeless tires.....
1:04 not to add insult to injury but theres also broken glass on the floor xD
I carry plugs and gas canisters, the foams, slime etc is a bitch to get rid of on tyre swap.
Tubed sadly.
I used it aswell mate all my paint came off rims and it wreaked the alloys.
Did you clean the rim before fitting a new tyre/patching the old one?
@@spicy110 yes was cleaned by the guys who change my tires and wiped down with cloth so no water would be runing round the rims
Did you contact the makers of the product? Their claims clearly state no damage.
No I didn't this was 4 years ago dont knowing they changed how it works but it looks exactly the same so I would just check your alloys pal
It’s basically squirty cream. That’s far cheaper in tesco.
Hehehe, bla bla bla I died and it's all your fault. 😂😂😂😂
Glad someone picked up on that one 🤣
Pretty sure you should have removed the screw and blow the tyre up with the pucture at the bottom. Would have sealed much better
Yes I did think this after, however it's a good test for a leak you can't find.
Tyres with inner tubes are a pain in the butt... If you had tubeless tyre there is a brilliant product called "tyre safe" or "puncture safe".. you put it in tyre when you get it...and IF you get anything in your tyre...just pull it out..the stuff in the tyre will seal it instantly...problem solved. Its been put in every bike I've owned for the last 10 years or so... Its the one thing I'd recommend using. Look it up on TH-cam..
SANTAREM!!!!!!!
Doesn't always work !...I tried it twice and worked for about 1 mile.Depends on the size of the hole and wether you have an inner tube. With Inner tube is less effective
Do not use in tubeless tyres , use a plug kit instead as when you come to have new tyre and the tyre fim find out they will refuse to change it as its to much mess to clean and they will charge you £50 an hour
Should have gone straight home
.
I recently had bad luck getting a puncture too, £180 to get the whole tyre replaced 😭
Ouch! Not pluggable I take it?
@@spicy110 The hole was like the size of a 2p probably doable but luckily it happened right near a garage, just also unlucky that I had no other way of getting home and didn't want to wait ages for help 😭
you're suppose to remove the nail first.
I talked about why I didn't do that in this video. Your not supposed to use it on tubbed tyres that's a bigger issue here haha
@@spicy110 Ah my bad, i must off not listened to that part. yeah, they're decent for tubeless, i own one on my honda cb125f so hopefully will come in handy.
Got me home so I was happy 😁
You're supposed to take the screw/nail out first aren't you?
Yes I believe I mentioned I was leaving it in and it should be taken out but as this is a tubed tyre I thought it unlikely to work.
spicy110 ah must have missed that as working at the same time 😂
It's only ever slowed it down in tubed tyres, rubbish really
DO NOT USE THIS, if you have tubeless, will ruin your tire inside and need a whole new one, the guys in shop who patch it will hate you, if you can get away without a new tire
Buy a tubeless tire repair kit much cheaper and better, some even come with mini air bottle to refill tire till you can pump it at a petrol garage
Please do no fill your motorcycle tire with this shit
One see my last video, two this isn't a tubeless tyre.
