A friend of mine pumps silicone into his bicycle tire, and he never gets flats. Could you do this to a motorcycle tire and never have a flat? Would it be safe? Thanks.
No and it is not safe motorcycle tires are steel belted radials just like car tires and for the most part do not have an inner tube. Also the silicone would cause a heavy spot in the tire and throw it out of balance, not a good thing at 60mph! Very unsafe and not a good idea at all.
By no means repair a motorbike tire with a plug! They really are simplest endorsed for emergency repairs on car tires. A motorbike tire wants to be taken off the rim and patched on the inside. In case you can't find a retailer that does it on your field, buy a new tire. The life you retailer maybe your own! A motorbike tire takes one-of-a-kind stresses then a vehicle tire and few if any legit shops will plug them.If the plug pulls out,like they in general do,the surprising loss of air can purpose you to lose manipulate.
If you're referring to the liquid sealant goo which repairs punctures as they occur, then yes. Many decent tyre centres offer it at a fixed cost per tyre, and it's very commonly used in bicycles. If you mean that he pumps silicone rubber into the tyres which then completely fills the air space and forms a solid tyre, then it can be done, but will give a harsh ride, poor roadholding (the tyre will no longer comply with the road surface) and as the filling will be very unlikely to be evenly distributed it will put the wheel out of balance. Bicycles can use solid tyre systems, usually by replacing the pneumatic tyre and inner-tube totally with a solid polyurethane tyre, but cars and motorcycles cannot realistically do so except for very special and immensely expensive exceptions.
