Sealant for slow punctures? - SV650.org

Hi guys,

It seams like I've got a slow puncture on my rear tyre, would anyone reccommend using a tyre sealant or something similar? Dont fancy forking out for a whole new tyre :/

dependent on where on the tyre it is, get it professionally patched (and examined from the inside), about £10-20, should last the life of the tyre.

and no I wouldn't recommend sealant type thing apart from the "get you home" or to get it fixed properly.

Cheers Mark.

Quoted 45 quid to get it sorted, anyone know anywhere in Birmingham/dudley that will do it for a reasonable price

Is it the tyre or the valve? Usually a slow puncture is valve related, stick another valve in if it is.
