I was thinking about plugging it like i normal would do a car tire but curious if i can since i was told they are different type of tires. My local motorcycle shop said they didnt repair tires causing me to think that theres something behind it and I dont want to buy another tire since its already new. If i cant plug it then what else are my options besides buying a new tire. Any helpful advice will be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Not every place that has tires fixes them. There are places that will fix them though. Where exactly is your screw? Is it on the treads or is it on the wall of the tire. If it is ont he wall it is not fixable, if it is on the treads it can be pluged. Also you might want to look at something like a fix-a-flat. which is a spray you can fill the hole and inflate the tire. I don't know how reliable this would be on a motorcycle though. On a car you have 4 tires so if one goes it isn't too bad, but if youa re ona bike and it goes . ouch . check around for other tire places and see if there are ones around that will plug for you.
Listen to the shop people, they won't repair it because when it suddenly goes flat when you're flat out going round a left-hander (right-hander if you're a Yank) and you slide into oncoming traffic and the first car runs over your legs so you can't move, then the next car runs over your arm so you can't wave and the truck runs over your guts which are now all over the road and you look down for the last time and say - Glad I saved $200 on that tyre your folks won't be able to sue them for millions! Ask them about an inner tube or cop it on the chin, get a new tyre and be pleased with yourself you did the right thing
