xMachina Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Had my GSX1250FA just over a week now and I'm really happy with it. I was even more happy that for the first time I'd bought a bike that didn't immediately need new tyres, they were like new and looked like they only had very minimal miles on. Sunday afternoon my neighbour asked for a hand to wire in some heated grips, and while we were pottering about I had a weird urge to have a look at my rear tyre - and man am I glad I did! There was a fairly large bit of metal sticking out of it which turned out to be hollow and had removed a 6mm core sample of the tyre. Bugger. So as I'm not keen on the Bridgestones anyway I've ordered a set of my preferred Road 5's but for about 5 mins the air in my garage was a lovely shade of blue. Quote
manxie49 Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 I feel for you mate, but know your pain all to well .... This was my S1000 one day after being on the road! Found a nail in my rear tyre, couldn't be repaired so had to shell out on a new tyre! Lucky you found it though, not good Quote
xMachina Posted August 25, 2021 Author Posted August 25, 2021 Nope, it sucks. New tyres have now arrived and I've got the wheels off the bike, just waiting on some right angle valves to arrive - which ironically I ordered before I discovered the puncture - and then I'll be back in business. Quote
