Slime works great on tubeless ATV and Mower tires but never heard of using with tubed tires. Personally I wouldn't use it on a motorcycle tire for highway use. That stuff can put the tire out of balance. For emergency road repair get a patch kit, tire spoons and a small bicycle pump. I finally ordered a Burrito tube for my Hawk. I'm taking my vacation at the end of next week and going camping at an ATV/off road campground for about 4-5 days. I plan on putting the Hawk through some extreme off road testing . I just hope my old body holds up better than the Hawk. lol
List of stuff that will be packed on the Hawk.
Assorted open end and box end wrenches, patch kit, pump, 3 tire spoons, adjustable wrench, vise grips, lots of zip ties, electrical tape, spark plug, spark plug socket wrench, allen wrenches, 4 in 1 screw driver, assorted nuts and bolts, cable stop ends and spoke wrench. I have most of this already stuffed under my seat except for the pump. I have one of those CO2 type for bicycle tire but never tried it.

So this is good stuff? I have a slow leak on my new rear tire / tube combo and have been dreading the repair. Have you had good luck with the stuff? I see where 1 bottle is $15.

I have slimed bicycle tubes for the kids.
