Found Glass in Motorcycle Tire - Should I worry?
If it's not leaking air, then the glass probably did not penetrate deep enough into the rubber to cause a problem. Just use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull out the glass shard and hope for the best.
Just get rid of the Glass shard. It didn't cause any damage this time but if you let it remain in the tire, another bump on that same section would push it deep in the tire and cause a puncture.
Look at the tread pattern, the depth of the sipes (the grooves in between the pattern) gives you an indication of the thickness of the tyre (there is more depth than just the blocks). You need to check your tyre pressure at least every other week, but go and check it now anyway, if it is low pump it up and check it again a day later. Frankly if the tyre is still inflated and the pressure is acceptable, I would ride it without a concern.
