Rear Tire Repair? - Page 2 - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Thanks to everyone who responded. I've concluded that the 1/4" slit in the tire definitely warrants it being replaced as a few cords were probably cut in the process. What makes my decision even easier is the fact that nobody in town will touch the thing due to liability. Road hazard is an excellent idea and I'll definitely look into that for my next purchase. Now I just have to figure out some creative way to make use of a useless perfect tire to make the loss easier to swallow...planter?

Good decision

I picked up a nail a couple of months ago and had a slow puncture, went through the same thoughts a you but in the end decided that it was not worth saving a few dollars and went for a new one.

You could start a tyre wall for your own personal racetrack. Might take a while to get the whole thing completed though
