I took my '02 Raptor out last night and it was vibrating at high speeds. Mainly only in fifth gear. I put the slime in the tires last week. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. I also heard a clicking noise in the front left tire area.

 

There are two bad things about Slime. One is that it makes your tires unbalanced at high speeds and two is it makes a heck of a mess when you pull the tires off the wheels.

 

Also if you have any damage to the wheels then they will be a little off. I heard of some people taking and getting them balanced with the stick on weights. You can also get small stones and pebbles to get into the tires through the bead. I took one of mine off last week and there were several pebbles I could here rolling around in there.

 

If I remember correctly(sp?) the "Slime" has a certain speed rating,but I cant remember what it is. Also check for any wheel damage, I have seen what looked like small dings, cause vibrations at higher speeds...

 

I once drove over 900 miles with fix a flat in my right front tire. The car shook the whole trip. Broke down the tire, patched it and got the stuff out of there the shaking was gone. This stuff is okay for a slow speed utility machine but get the speed up there and it will definitely shake.

 

I got a nail in the right rear tire, Quad was about 3 days old.
Once I did the patch and I too also did the Slime to seal.

I didn't have the money to replace the tire.
The tires held up fine for about 7 months now. But, I too now have the vibration at high speeds in fifth gear. I would agree with the other posts. Tire is out of balance and the slime doesn't help.

 

Tire Slime is crap. I put the stuff in my Raptor rear tires and at around 45mph ( I think) the thing shook like my granny at the local strip club. I think fix a flat works decent. Leave tire Slime to the utility quad guys.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
