if you have a plug kit go ahead and pull it out ...

if you do not ? you may want to ride to a shop, then pull it out in there parking lot. That way you can at least get them to patch it for you.
 
You guys are a life saver

It's a good idea to keep a kit similar to the one in my guide with you at all times in your bike's tail or storage.
These plugs work on cars too.

My 600rr has no space, and an alarm already takes the little l have left. I checked the tires again. There's a slow leak, and my tire are squishy. So l know riding is dangerous.

Thanks to you guys l did get a proper repair kit from Canadian tire for $12 taxes in. Im not to worried right now. Just have to take it easy riding home
 
The leak better be REAL slow.. You don't want for that screw to bite into your rim.. Then you've got a whole different set of problems.
 
I had a tire plugged in Newfoundland, and made it back to Toronto with no problems.
I replaced the tire a little sooner than I would have, but it was nearly worn out.
A year later, carrying a plug kit and a CTC pump, I picked up another screw,
and this time I plugged it myself. I used that tire for another 6000 kilometers.
I understand that when a plug fails, the air usually comes out slowly, not in a rush.
