Re: A lesson in flat tires!
The sticky rope plug was exactly what the Yamaha dealer used. I checked the pressure yesterday and the tire is still holding at 33psi. I've already made an appointment for Saturday morning at Cliff's Cycle Rev to have new Michelin Pilot Powers installed front and back, although it's killing me to take off the plugged tire that only has about 600 miles.
Speaking of new tires, anyone have an experience with the new Michelin Pilot Powers with the double compound. The Dealer is telling me for the street they're the way to go. Harder compound in the middle for highway riding and soft compound on the edges for twisties. I just question if the hard compound in the center compromises any handling.
