run-flat foam?

Post by fw189uhu » Thu Dec 30, 2010 1:04 pm

Anybody tried using run-flat foam in their tires? It seems this would be a good solution for off-road flats, but maybe I'm missing something? Dave

run-flat foam?

Post by Mike Huber » Thu Dec 30, 2010 1:46 pm

Dave...I've been running heavy duty tubes from Fred,  and Slime for the past three years and have yet to get a flat....And I ride the backroads of NM where the state plants are prickly pear, Lechugilla, and Mesquite....The Slime doesn't seems to hurt the balance on the highway as it gets evenly spread around the inside of the tube.....I still carry spare tubes and tire tools but I haven't had to use them on the trail for a while now.....Knock on WOOD !!!!   Mike   To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com From: dhk@...

run-flat foam?

Post by David H. Klaus » Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:22 pm

Hi Mike & Jeff Thanks for the quick responses! Obviously my intent to is to, as much as possible, "flat-proof" my KLR tires. What I had in mind is something like the Arnco Flatproofing system (http://arnconet.com/flatproofing/superfills/formulas/repneu2.htm#), which I know is used in many military tires. Don't know about the USMC KLRs, though. I had expected the solution to be some sort of polyurethane expanding foam spray. Mike, I'm fairly new to this list and don't know who "Fred" is, but the HD tubes sound like a good idea. Jeff, the Bib Mousse solution is new to me, but seems like an excellent idea. Currently I'm running my '09's original tires and the BMs work only with Michelins. My current tires are in excellent shape and I'd prefer to not change to Michelins if possible. I note the BMs are certified only to 80 mph, but online comments state guys in the Dakar race run them offroad at more than 80 all the time without problems. Several complaints about them quickly breaking also found online, but we must wonder whether those complainers installed the units incorrectly(?) I also see TireBalls at http://www.tireballs.com/ . Any experience with these? Their website says the Border Patrol and Navy SEALs are using them, although I assume that's on their "dune buggies" and not motorcycles. Thanks again. Dave

Responding to Who fred is. Some say, He's a myth, Comes out of no-where (Moab) when you need him most. Has what you need, and if not, can get it or tell you where to get it. Not only bends over backwards, but like a pretzel to take care of The KLR clain.   Fred Hink, Is, the Man the provides us with DSN KLR, web . and has a store/shop. "Arrowhead motor sports."   At,  Angelfire.com (in moab Ut.)  Check out the web page, KLR PARTS & INFO   Mark

Just run "Slime" in combination with super duty tubes. You'll have to remove half a tire with a discarded whale hook to get another flat.

run-flat foam?

Post by Jim Douglas » Fri Dec 31, 2010 7:01 am

Interesting about 'super duty tubes' as when I requested them installed on my KLR my tire guy insisted as I spent 80% on blacktop that it was not good. He indicated they would cause increased heat and premature tire ware? BS?

Fred is all covered up right now (snow). He will even change a tire during the annual CMC. Criswell

If you're strictly off-road they're hard to beat, though. -Jeff Khoury [b]From: [/b]"David H.

Obviously my intent to is to, as much as possible, "flat-proof" my KLR tires. What I had in mind is something like the Arnco Flatproofing system (http://arnconet.com/flatproofing/superfills/formulas/repneu2.htm#), which I know is used in many military tires. Don't know about the USMC KLRs, though. I had expected the solution to be some sort of polyurethane expanding foam spray. Mike, I'm fairly new to this list and don't know who "Fred" is, but the HD tubes sound like a good idea. Jeff, the Bib Mousse solution is new to me, but seems like an excellent idea. Currently I'm running my '09's original tires and the BMs work only with Michelins. My current tires are in excellent shape and I'd prefer to not change to Michelins if possible. I note the BMs are certified only to 80 mph, but online comments state guys in the Dakar race run them offroad at more than 80 all the time without problems. Several complaints about them quickly breaking also found online, but we must wonder whether those complainers installed the units incorrectly(?) I also see TireBalls at http://www.tireballs.com/ . Any experience with these? Their website says the Border Patrol and Navy SEALs are using them, although I assume that's on their "dune buggies" and not motorcycles. Thanks again. Dave
