EXUP Worldwide was born from the ashes of the original EXUP Brotherhood – the definitive forum for all those who have interest in Yamaha FZ, FZR, and YZF motorcycles.

And a plug in the front tyre? - no way would I ride a sports bike with a repaired tyre!
I have. Done right its fine for everyday riding. Wont be racing on it, but bumming around its fine. Front though I would have replaced asap. Rear, I would wait intil I need new tyres.
Over in the UK tyres have to be repaired within the limits of our British standard which does not allow repairs to tyres with a speed rating Z or above.
Hence you would struggle to find someone here to carry out any pemanant repair.
So get a nail in your brand new superbike tyre and it will only be fit for the bin!
