alright well i bought this slime for my raptor. The back of the bottle said for atv's get 16 ounches per tire. so i bought four and put one bottle in each. Well it seems like it works perfectly for the rear but i think 16 was a bit too much for high speed driving cause the front end begins to shake at like 50. My question is if anyway has any tips to curing this problem and/or taking some of the slime out. I took out the valve pin and tried siphoning some out but i cant get the hose through the valve. Can you pull that whole valve assembly out? i really dont wannt take the tires off. Im slighting considering puttin small holes in the tires and letttin it leak out then seal but thats a last resort. Please help cause this shake is insane. Thanks

 

You really want to poke holes in good tires on a bike that you may be passing 60 MPH on?

I know it will won't be much fun, but take the tires off and take them up to the dealer and have them do the work. A bad shake like that may make your bike vibrate loose while driving at high speeds. At the very least it can't be good for an ATV, the wear exceleration alone is going to make it worth the cost.

 

did you run the tires right after you used the slime? you are supposed to drive around to spread it

 

Take them off the bike and air them up to about 10 lbs - Then unscrew the inner part of the valve stem while holding the wheel to orient the valve stem facing down so the slime settles at the valve stem and comes out. Shake them to get things moving. Might take a couple attempts. I'm not sayin this works but it maybe worth try before heading to the tire shop?

 

thanks fisher , ill try that. I hope it works. And yes i ran it after i put the slime in. i really dont wanna have to take it to the shop. Im sick of causing more problems when i innocently try to help my raptor. thanks for the replies. and other tips would be great, ill keep checkin'

 

Funny thing, I used that stuff on my Jeep tire, but I guess the hole was too big, didn't seal, must have been bigger than 1/4 inch, so I plugged it. The slime that remained in there really made my the tire shake horribly at 50mph, it sucked! I ended up rotating it to the rear, better now. Too bad you can't rotate the wheels on a quad! Good Luck.

 

I had the same problem at the same speed also. Took it back to the dealer (who sold it when new) and his reply , yeah, you probally should put that in the front tires, it may make them wobble. MY reply was to credit me the $$$ and fix the tires, they did both [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
