[QUOTE="bigtallguy, post: 854099, member: 19419"] I actually had the first flat ever last weekend in Arkansas. Picked up a thin piece of metal in the rear tire. Tried to plug it but no luck. We took the tire off the rim partially and found that the metal piece had gone in at an angle, and we put the plug straight in making an extra hole :angry2: We first took it to a Yamaha dealer who wouldn't patch it for "liability" reasons, but offered a new tire instead. Being that it was relatively new PR2 with about 1,000 miles, I decided to take it to a tire shop to have a patch put in, which has held up so far. Now I'm going to start carrying everything needed to patch a tire along with the plug kit and 12v pump I've been toting. Lost about a half a day of riding on that one <_< [/QUOTE]
