I'll be watching this. I have four tubes of it in the garage and have been wondering the same thing.

 

Call them and ask.

 

Being a former motorcycle technician I can say with a high degree of confidence if you call a dealer, they will say not to use it whether they know or not. Tech's absolutely hate changing tires when there is anything other than air in them.

That being said, I will call the makers of Ride on and see what they say.

 

Ride-On will not foul sensors.....It is on their website. I have used it for years and no problem. Tire changers don't mind the product because it is water based and rinses off easily, never had a tech that wouldn't change tires because of the product. Just tell them before hand. Other similar products are not water based, by the way.

 

Did not say they won't, said they don't like to.

 

Ride-On as been guaranteed to work with the sensors in the Indian Motorcycle tires, earlier post on the forum about that and Ride-on's Official Announcement

Thanks, saved me a phone call.

 

As a new 2016 Chieftain owner since May this is the first post I have replied to. I have about 2500 miles on the Indian now and from experience I can tell you I encountered my first flat tire on the bike, I also own and ride a 2015 HD Street Glide Special with 10,000 miles on that one. Coming into Lordsburg NM tire pressure light came on and showed zero rear tire pressure, I was just coming off the highway into the main street in town.
After a tow of 160 miles to home (dealer not open on a Sunday) and another tow to the dealer on a Saturday (through own insurance roadside assist) Indian roadside only covers a 100 mile radius then you pay the difference. Ok to make things short I had to have the rear tire replaced would hold no air at all there was a diagonal cut in the crown area, I had an elite 3 installed and I asked to have Ride on sealant put in both tires.
They were able to remove the balance weight off the front tire rim after adding the sealant.
I have had no problems since the sealant has been added in either tire and the tire pressure system is working without an issue, I do check my tire pressure every week with a meter and adjust any pressure needed.
So I am satisfied with the Ride on sealant knowing there is a bit of piece of mind if the next time I do get a puncture hopefully not cut through as before that this product may seal the puncture, I will also be getting a plug kit to keep on the bike and a small battery connect compressor. Ride safe everyone.

 

Has anyone used Ride On on a tubed tire like on a Chief? Any success? I checked out the RideOn site and they said it has limited success with Tubes versus Tubeless. Just wanted to understand anyones real life experience. Thanks and pound sand (Is this a greeting? i saw it elsewhere in the thread ).

 

It is not for use in tube tires. Not sure why the "Pound sand" thing was posted, possibly by some frustrated person that can't handle other people's views...............

 

Thanks @aussiekeeper - Good to know. I will be moving to a RM soon so this will be good information for the future.

 

Heard that it messed with the tire pressure sensors

 

Sometimes you can't believe everything you read on forums. Go straight to the manufacture for the true info. Ride-On and tire pressure sensors(TPMS)

 

I've been using it for many years with no problems at all. I highly recommend it. It works great and it takes the best by far wheel balance to date for me. I have over a million miles on bikes, on to my second million. No more wheel balancers One doesn't need those ugly little led heads as they suck! Handles corners real nice, good lean and good balance. Works!!!

 

I used it on my goldwing... when I had the tire replaced there was just a glob of ride on in one spot on the tire. looked all dried out.

 

The sensors in the Indian wheels ARE sealed and Ride-On made the announcement months ago that it will work in the tubeless models of Indian Motorcycles

My dealer is friends with the owner of Ride On and it was confirmed to me by both of them at the same time. I was then given 2 gratis bottles 8oz's I believe. (Free)

Plug kit works for me. Had to use just today. Picked up a one and a half inch fence staple that was left over from one of the vendor booths from the rally. Getting to the valve stem is somewhat restricted so trying to use an aerosol can in my hands will be a mess.
