Question:
My motorbike tyre has a nail in it, am a fairly new rider so cant say mechanics are my strong point. Anyway its a honda vfr800, how do i know if the tyre is tubeless or not? Am debating taking it to a shop as am abit worried about taking back wheel off as not sure about taking it off what with it having disk brakes etc. So anyway as i say how do i know if its tubeless or not and also in either case does this mean that i have to replace the tyre or can both simply be fixed with puncture repair? thanks!

Alloy wheels - Tubeless tyre!Do all 2 stroke engines run bad in the cold?
It is a straightforward job to repair - no more than 30 mins to get wheel off! Undo the chain tensioners and spindle bolt and push it through! Push the wheel forward .If the brake assembly is above the disk - just tie a bit of string round it to stop it getting in your way! If below, just let it drop slightly!
Pull wheel out!
When refitting just ensure that you haven't touched the brake and allowed the pads to close up..if you have touched it and they have closed, use a small BLUNT screwdriver and gently prise the pads apart to allow wheel brake to reseat into brake caliper.

Put the wheel back on and refit spindle and loosely tighten! Adjust chain tension to correct level and tighten spindle nut fully!

It might say on the side of the tire if it is tubless, probably is. If it's just a nail in a non critical spot on the tire they can usually patch it.have anyone ridden these bikes lately?
It is tubeless. 99% of them are now. You can repair it but I wouldn't. (Just my opinion, and I have ridden for 15 years.) You only have 2 tires so I think they should be in as good of shape as possible.Does anyone know how much fork fluid goes in a 2006 harley softail standard?

VFR 800 will be tubeless. Most modern bikes are.As for repairing. Remove nail. You can either get the tyre repaired, although this will be weeker or buy a tube, remove valve and go with a tubed tyre.
Enjoy
A puncture in a tubeless tyre is not really repairable. Particularly with a motorbike where a flat would cause you to loose control, it is a whole lot safer to have a new tyre.
Think what you would do if you had a flat when you are not near a garage. How about a can of 'blow it up and seal it' as a (very) temporary measure in your toolkit - Halfords again.

Where can I find a subframe for an '89 Honda Hurricane CBR600F1?
Hi there, it does depend on where thenail is, if it is in a side wall you will need a new tyre. If it is in the tread section of the tyre you might be able to get it repaired by a specialist tyre company. do not attempt to repair it yourself. It is a tubeless tyre and will be almost impossible to remove and replace without the correct equipment.You're a fairly new rider and you have a VFR800 ?
I suggest you find/getout the owners manual and read every word.
I know the tires are tubless because I had a VFR700, and all Honda VFR use tubeless rims.
Tubeless tires don't heat up as much as tube/tire combos do BTW.
I started out as a bike mechanic before switching to the big money working on big trucks. I know that most motorcycle tires can have unseen damage resulting from punctures and the like. To be safe, discard the tire and buy a new one. At high speed, (and don't tell me me you won't go fast on a VFR800!), the plug can come flying out, and then you'll be wishing you had bought a mo-ped instead!
In an emergency, a tubless tire, wether bike or car, can be fixed without removing the wheel. But, this kind of repair on a hig-powered bike is temporary!

definately tubeless like the others have said the tyre can be plugged but DONT do it. Spending £100 on a rear tyre is better than throwing your bike down the road if the tyre plug fails.How much to Bore a Dirt bike out?
I've been told that it is not a good idea to run on a repaired tire unless you have to. The patch kits are mostly just to get you to a place where you can buy a new tire, so I am told. I had damage to a fairly new tire, so I know it sucks to have to buy another one. Just bite the bullet and buy a new one. You don't want to take a chance on a tire failure while riding. I think most tube tires are on spoked wheels.anyone recommend some online apparel websites?

A VFR uses tubeless tyres. If you take it to a shop or tyre depot they will tell you if it can be repaired. There are very strict laws regarding thisPersonally from a safety point of view I would always replace the tyre
