- In this video, I show the process for filling the tires with Ride-On Tire Balancer and Sealant. The Ride-On website has a very good dosage calculator for automotive, motorcycle, and ATV tires. The Super Cub's tires (70/90-17 front, and 80/90-17 rear) need between 4-5 ounces each for proper sealing. The whole procedure should only take about 5-10 minutes. I talked through the process here so it took a little longer.

Stay ahead of the game! Anytime I have had or picked up a nail has been in the rear! I like the tires on this bike they seem to be pretty grippy as far as I can tell.. will really put them to the test when it warms up here in the
upper Midwest!
Awesome video, thank you!
Glad to help! 👍 --QM
Good job, great movie ! :) Regards
Thanks
Thanks for the support! 🙏😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Hey no problem. I have watched so many hours of your videos (mostly on the Super Cub) that, really, that’s the least I could do
As we cannot get "Ride-On" in the UK would you recommend Slime as a good choice..
Another UK viewer commented a while back that Ride-On was available there, but it was very spendy. I don't recommend Slime because it tends to be a bit too thin for most motorcycle (and automotive) road punctures. I have tried to use Slime and other instant flat fix aerosols over the years, but they have never seemed to work well for me and they rarely got me back home... usually just to the next station so I could put ANOTHER can of the stuff in the tire.
I've had 4 bonafide punctures with Ride-On, and 3 of them weren't even realized until the tire was very deflated. Those three incidents weren't noticed until I made a fuel stop or after I returned home and I was doing my post-ride maintenance. The 4th occasion was a 1.5" lateral tear in the edge of the sidewall that I picked up from a piece of black angle iron while rounding a corner... that hole was too big and went flat within a few seconds. That was the end of that tire for sure... no fixing that problem, had to call roadside assistance to tow the bike... at 8:30pm on a Sunday evening... oy vey! --QM
Do you still have the sealant in your tires? Have you noticed any balancing issues? Thanks for your videos.
Yes, I'm still using Ride-On sealant in my Cub's tires. I upgraded the tires recently, and I refilled them with Ride-On immediately! I have noticed a slight imbalance if the bike has been sitting for several days, but it re-balances within a few minutes of riding as the viscous fluid is redistributed throughout the tire's inner surface. Larger tires tend to experience this worse than smaller ones because there is more sealant to pool toward the bottom of the tire while sitting stationary. My Ryker will shake the handlebars for a few miles or until I reach 50-ish MPH to redistribute the sealant. Cheers ! 😉👍 --QM
Great presentation once again. I'm off to buy three bottles of the stuff. One for the Cub the other two for my shiny new Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor Chrome! Btw, can see this part 2 but where's part 1? Plus where did you pick it up for just $14? it's £29GBP over here and $21.79 on the US site?
Thx! Part 1 of the road prep was the damage repair video. I purchased my last batch from Amazon and I picked up the 6-pack for $87.88 ($14.65/bottle): www.amazon.com/Ride-On-Motorcycle-Tire-Sealant-6-Bottles/dp/B00K6JRIQ4 There is also the 12-pack for $139.95 ($11.66/bottle): www.amazon.com/Ride-Motorcycle-Sealant-Balancer-12-bottles/dp/B00K6JZTCE . I'm not sure how the prices will work out on that side of the pond, but buying in quantity will probably save you some money.
Congrats on the RE 650! Post a video on that when you have a moment... I would love to have a look at it! --QM
Martin Lynch that sounds like it’s going to be a fun bike too!
I like the pipes on that bike reminds me of the old Norton and some memories of times past! Triumph has a scrambler over here that’s pretty sweet! So much out there but so little time!
you used a brp ryker too?
Yes, I installed the Ride-On Sealant in my Ryker Rally tires also. The amount of sealant that I put into each tire was:
- Front: 145/60-16 = 10 oz (~296mL, x2 front tires)
- Rear: 205/55-15 = 15 oz (~443mL)

Oh how i wish here in the UK we could work on our bikes in the sun with them blue blue skies...sigh....
🤣 I don't envy your gray skies and rainy weather over there. The only upside of that is you don't have our summer heat... 100+ deg F and high humidity... it's a sauna down here in the Gulf Coast region for sure. Cheers! 👍😉 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Forgot to say a "BIG Thank-you" for all your cub 125 vids...You made my mind up to get one and it arrives 1st March 2020 ( Red and white one )...
@@korky7775 I'm glad to help and share! As I've said before... I don't know if convincing someone else to spend money is "helping" or not! 🤣 Motorcycling is a passion and an addiction for me... and addicts always like to have company along for the fun. 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard This maybe a stupid question but ...does the new cub use spark plugs
@@korky7775 No stupid questions, only stupid answers! 😉 Yes, the Cub uses a traditional engine design with a fuel-injected, low-compression 2-valve head and electronic (CDI) ignition. The spark plug is a NGK CPR6EA-9 (I think... it's hard to read the numbers on it while it's installed in the head). I can dig out my service manual for the exact plug type, if you need it. The engine is derived from the Grom (MSX-125) and Monkey, but it has a slightly different bottom-end due to the centrifugal clutch arrangement. 👍 --QM
is this good to use with new tires?
John Braman i think that’s what’s recommend ! I think it’s overkill but that’s none of my business!
It's ok to use in new or old tires, and its TPMS friendly. The real benefit is that it will give you more chance of a controlled leak down for normal punctures (e.g. nails, screws, etc). It will stop or slow the leak so you can make a controlled stop instead of having a rapid deflation that could spell disaster at highway speeds.
I've had 3 rear tires and 1 front tire take huge holes with Ride-On, and I never lost control of the bike because of it. I noticed a couple of them shortly after the event when I was still in motion (tire got soft and squishy over a few miles). The other events weren't even noticed until much later when I inspected the tires during routine maintenance (found a couple of dirty, sticky spots on the tread that proved Ride-On worked). --QM
how much would you put in for the ryker tires?
@@JohnBraman413 You can consult the Ride-On dosage calculator at: www.ride-on.com/us/calculator
. Use the "Car/SUV" option as the tire/vehicle type because these are square/straight-wall tires (not rounded like MC or ATV). Here are the specs, per the calculator recommendations:
- Front: 145/60-16 = 9 oz (normal), 12 oz (severe)... x2 front tires
- Rear (Rally edition): 205/55-15 = 13 oz (normal), 17 oz (severe)
- Rear (600/900 non-Rally): 205/45-16 = 12 oz (normal), 15 oz (severe)

I thought this was only used in 3rd world countries just like ours.
what country are you from? here in the Philippimes out tire sealant looks like the blue-green blood from the movie Alien
