Rear tire breaking bead?

They make a compound that seals the pores in billet. Apply around the rim and then set the bead and air it up.

If when you mounted the tire you used lube you need to be very sure you do not get it on the bead. If you do the tire will slip. To fix , brake the bead and clean the wheel and tire bead with some alcohol to remove any lube. Then reseat the tire and all should be fine.

Thanks but.........

Thanks to all for the reply although i had already done most everything suggested before i posted. Tire was fine new, picked up a nail dead center of tire shortly after installing new tire, got a un-named person at a un-named tire store to throw a patch on it and remounted and that's when the trouble started and no it's not leaking at the patch.Took tire back off, cleaned wheel with wire brush and bought special "bead Sealer" from Camel, applied and remounted tire and all was well for about a week then leaking around bead again. wheel is in great shape, not bent anywhere and i would natually think defective tire if it didn't seal at all and yes tires are all same brand as what came on bike from factory. sounds like tube time until this one wears out huh? So nobody has had this problem? Wow do I feel special ;)

Personal preference: However, I would not ride a bike with a patch or plug in the tire. Ditch it and get a new tire problem solved. Is the cost of a rear tire worth a blown tire above 50mph?

DOT = The fold over to make a circle. The inner carcass does not butt up to each other, right? It folds over each other; as if you folded your palm over your other hand. Your fingers are under your one palm. That tiny bit of flap-over-weight is now countered against so many ounces are the stem's weight in ounces. Those ounces or flap made, is placed opposite the stem so you use [less lead weight] to balance the tire.


Arrow Direction = Back to your hand placement. Rock your arms like a wheel, but use your fingers as the direction. See how that could dig up or unload the vulcanizing? Now, rock your arms the opposite way so you lead with your wrist this time. See how the tire comes around and misses the fold, whereas the flap aims for it?

They kind of roll like that. :loony:

I wish I had more money.
I does sound like it would be bad but it peeled right off. Literally took maybe two minutes. personally well worth the time invested vs. buying another tire.


would not look forward to removing that tire and having to clean up the wheel for the next tire. :bang::bang::bang:

I don't know of any reputable shop that will put a tube in a motorcycle tire. Haven't you been reading all the threads on Avon's tires? Why would you purchase an Avon with all the issues that have recently occurred and been talked about on this forum? Metzler is the way to go. As for running different brand tires on front and rear, never heard of that being an issue. My front is an Avon, rear Metzler. Never had a wobble. Not to say it's ok, just saying I've never heard of that being an issue.
