has anyone had a hole in their rear tire? i am losing about 4lbs per day. i am currently just filling it back up before i ride until i figure out what to do. do i have to buy a new tire or can the rear tire be "plugged"?

find the cause of the leak and then determin if it is repairable. check valve stem and core too. if it has a small nail puncture in the middle of the tread area i would say its ok to have patched. if its near the edge of the tire, i don't think i would do it. always check with the local shops to see what they recomend too.2002 TLR B/W

if you do decide to have it fixed, make sure they use one of thosse patches with a plug on it. regular plugs have a tendency to loosen or fail since a motorcycle tire goes through alot of deformation when you are cornering. would not be a good time for the plug to come out
most shops either wont repair them or will recommend that you dont.

Depending on the damage, plugs are fine.
