Ride-On Tyre Protection Sealant for Motorcycles
- How does it work? as in how to use it ?
- One bottle for one bike, right?
- Does it work for tyres with tube?
- Hi, say 2 nails punctured my tyres, must I remove
... ?
- The gel seals holes right? Won't it cause the
valve ... ?
- I may want to get this for my long trips ... can
it be used after I found tyre punctured...?

Who in Singapore has tested it?
While you ride, a protective layer of Ride-On TPS - a tire
sealant containing fibers six times stronger than steel - evenly coats the inner
surface of your tire. If your tire is punctured, the centrifugal force of the
rotating tire and the internal air pressure force Ride-On into the hole, sealing
it virtually instantly.
With Ride-On TPS tire sealant, your tire literally fixes itself!
And since it stops slow leaks the moment they start, your tires always stay
properly inflated. Your tires last longer, your bike handles better, your fuel
economy improves, and you ride more safely.
Ride-On motorcycle TPS is designed to seal punctures from
objects up to 1/8” in diameter in the tread area of your tire. Due to a tire’s
inner curvature, It will not seal sidewall damage, or damage near the shoulder
of the tire (the outside 1-1.5” of the tire tread). If a tire has a cut, impact
break, bruise, bulge, snag, or sidewall damage, take the tire out of service and
have it inspected by a professional tire care specialist.
The 8 oz DIY bottle comes with a valve stem removal kit.
Installation is simple - remove the valve core with the tool kit and pour in the
right amount of sealant (as stated in the instructions); re-inflate and ride on.
One bottle is sufficient for 2 tyres of small bike eg Honda
CBR125. Big Bikes such as Goldwing, Shadow or ST1300 needs 2 bottles. Please
check the dosage table for exact amount to use.
Ride-On TPS will eliminate 85-95% of your flats in tubeless
tires from objects up to 1/8” that penetrate the contact area of your tire.
Ride-On’s efficiency in tube tires is reduced to 55-65% since puncturing objects
often tear the tube. It is impossible for a tire sealant to seal a tear. It is
vital to remove the puncturing object immediately from a tire containing a tube
to prevent further damage that can result in tearing the tube.
Hi, say 2 nails punctured my tyre ... , must i remove/no
need to remove the nails and continue riding. If no need to remove the nails,
then best sia! If need to, after remove the nails, must do a patch up at the
tyre shop or once i pull out the nails, this sealant will seal up the holes?
What's the difference for tube/tubless tyres for the above scenario?
If you notice that an object has punctured your tire tread,
drive your bike for about 10 km to warm up the tires. Remove the puncturing
object and immediately drive your motorcycle for about 5 km so that Ride-On can
work its way into and seal the puncture. Although Ride-On is effective from -40°C
to 121°C, please note that it works best once your tires have warmed up. For
MAXIMUM safety, have a tire professional inspect (and if necessary, repair or
replace) your tire as soon as possible after a puncture. Ride-On will not
interfere with the application of conventional tire plug and patch repairs, and
can easily be washed out of tires with water.
You may be wondering why you need to remove puncturing objects
from your tire tread, given that Ride-On forms an effective seal around such
objects. The reason is that if an object is left in the tire, it will shift as
the tire rotates, eventually creating a larger hole and causing further damage
to the tire or tube. Please note that if an object has been in the tire for a
long time, it may take some time for the puncture cavity to close. (This is
because rubber has “memory,” which causes it to conform to the shape of the
puncturing object.) In this case, the tire may temporarily lose some air until
it is sealed. Note also that if the puncturing object is a screw, you must
unscrew it - yanking or pulling the screw will tear the rubber and possibly the
steel belts.
Ride-On TPS will eliminate 85-95% of your flats in tubeless
tires from objects up to 1/8” that penetrate the contact area of your tire.
Ride-On’s efficiency in tube tires is reduced to 55-65% since puncturing objects
often tear the tube. It is impossible for a tire sealant to seal a tear. It is
vital to remove the puncturing object immediately from a tire containing a tube
to prevent further damage that can result in tearing the tube.
It is the fibers in the gel that plugs the hole. When the
proper dosage is installed, the valve stem will almost never be blocked. The
centrifugal force of the rotating tyre forces the sealant away from the valve
stem and onto the tyre. However, in rare occasion when it gets into the valve, a
short burst of air will clear it. A paper clip or similar object can also be
used to clear the valve stem.
I may want to get ... one of these for my long trip, but
can i use it when i found my tyre is punctured (eg..take out the nail from the
punctured tyre and then pour the sealant)
The Ride-On TPS is designed to be a preventive. It repairs
multiple punctures in the crown area for the life of the tyres because it seals
the puncture cavities from the inside to the outside. It will not interfere with
the conventional plugs or patches in the tyres. If you want to use AFTER the
Puncture:
a Object still in Tyre: DO NOT REMOVE OBJECT! Inject severe
dosage requirement into the tyre (45% more). Ride for a min. of 10km to ensure
complete distribution of the product. Remove the object and ride at least 5km
more. Make sure to re-air the tyre. Reair and riding process may need to
repeat up to 3 times before the puncture is completely sealed.
b. If Object is no longer in the tyre. Inject the severe dosage. Ride for min.
10km to ensure complete distribution of the product. Re-air tyre and ride until
tyre warms up. This will aid in the tyre regaining its elasticity. Reair and
riding process may need to repeat up to 3 times before the puncture is
completely sealed.
Having said that, it is always not advisable to ride with a flat as you take
the risk of damaging the tyre.
AAS has tested successfully the puncture sealing, air
retention and ride handling performance for vehicles with both tube and tubeless
tyres. For 2-wheelers, Ban Hock Hin Co. Pte Ltd, a leading motorcycle
leasing company in Singapore has done similar tests and found no negative impact on ride
handling for highway speeds.

Wow...what
can I say, after riding > 1000 km, I checked the air pressure, that's
two weeks after the installation, no air leaks at all....the reading
from my gauge remains the same for both front and rear tyres......there's
no significant differs in the "feel" of riding at all speed.

“No puncture experience as
yet, but an immediate improvement of stability, balance and handling,
probably enhanced by the 21-inch front tire on my bike with the sealant
in it. "

“I put in Ride-On in my
tires last summer and drove 14,000 miles in 24 days, including extremely
rough gravel roads to Arctic Circle. After 30,000 miles, my IRC front
tire still had a lot of tread left on it. In fact, I took a photo in
case anyone wants to challenge the fact your product does increase tire
life!”
- Dr. Michael Tuccelli, Elkton, FL

“I was racing in extremely
thorny terrain and after completing the event it was time to change to
new tires. After examining the tube I noticed small dots of Ride-On all
over it. So I cut the tube in half and was totally amazed to find over
twenty thorns inside it. Not only had the tire been severely punctured
the incredible performance of this product had enabled me to continue
racing without the slightest hint of tire failure. Ride-On TPS is a must
for anyone who is aware of the potential dangers that tire failures can
cause.”-

"We punctured a 98 Police
Road King twice. Ride-On was capable of instantly sealing the puncture
with no measurable air loss."
