Title: Ride-On Motorcycle Tire Sealant
Post by: Zee110 on April 29, 2012, 01:29:02 AM

Has anybody used this for puncher protection and wheel balancing? Would like to know if you are supposed to remove
wheel weights after injecting this into tires

Thanks in advance

IMHO, better to carry a plug kit and mini air compressor on the bike.

Yep, +1

but before getting set up with plugs and compressor, I have had occasion to use shoosh a couple of times.

Had no major dramas and ended up running tire out both times.
Didn't remove weights either.

I'm going to try it next week in my Bushtec tires.

I could see using it on the trailer tires but might be a little reluctant to put it in my bike tires.   :-\

It keeps throwing weights, so our local Bushtec dealer recommended this stuff. He said its not as effective for leaks on tube tires, but will balance things out ok. I researced it a little and the demos on Youtube are impressive with motorcycle tires.  Doc

been using it for years.  no issues whatsoever.  have found a screw in the tire, which I found on inspection.  no air leak.  this stuff doesn't stick to your wheels either.  washes off easily with water.
