Question:

How do you seal motorcycle tires or tubeless tire?

I have a nail lodged in the tire still and it leaks air when I try to pull it out. I think its a pretty hole too. So how do I seal it and with what?

Answer:

Same way you would repair any other tires - using a set for like $5. I just wouldn't do it with the front tire - your a$$ is at stake here.
if you dont know what you are doing, take the whole rim and tire off and take it to a shop. Your life depends on your tiresIf you screw it up and the plug comes off you may make the 6oclock news. If the shop screws it up, your kin might make a pretty penny off suing the shop after you become roadkill THERE ARE NO PRETTY HOLES ON TIRES!!! If the hole is anywhere near the sidewall, replace the tire.
If the valve stem comes out interior the path of the middle of the rim u can use tube or tubless, if the valve stem comes out the area of the rim u can basically pass tubeless , if u attempt to apply a tube u could pull the stem to the area to get it out the hollow interior the rim which ultimately rips the tube .you ought to use tubes in laced (spoke) wheels. be sure u have arubber liner around the interior the rim
