I’m no expert and it’s always a controversial one. Personally I see no reason it couldn’t be repaired. The next important question would be, would you be prepared to ride with it plugged. Only you know that one as I know what I’d do but I can only speak for myself. ------------- Aprilia RSVR Factory 2007 V2 1060cc Big Bore Aprilia RSVR Factory 2004 Race Bike Kawasaki ZX10R 2007 Race Bike Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2020 www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apworkshops.co.uk |

| I’ve had that same dilemma last week, picked up a puncture in the middle of the rear and was thinking about a repair but there was a niggling feeling I couldn’t shake..... ordered a new rear and it’s on it’s way. |

I had a screw through a brand new tyre a few years ago and decided to run with it plugged. Kept a hyper critical eye on pressure but ran it for thousands of miles without issue. I think I might have changed earlier than I normally would but the profile was probably gone by then anyway. As said, only your brain will tell you what you must do.

As long as its done right it'll be fine. I plugged one myself on the rear of my old Exup, never lost any pressure til I picked up a nail in the side wall, due for changing by then anyway.
