Can I use fix a flat on a tubed tire?

It will work sometimes, but you can't count on it. A better bet is a product like Slime (the kind for tubed tires) or Ride-on. Even those are not sure things. It can't hurt to try them in a pinch, the only downside being the mess they make.

The only really satisfactory cure is a patch kit, backed up by spare tubes. Learn to use three tire levers or a tire spoon to break the bead, and carry a means to reinflate your tire.

There are a number of on-line tutorials for changing a motorcycle tire or fixing a flat. Mount your own tires at home using the tools you will carry, so that when it happens to you in BFE, you will have done it before.

If you are not too far off the beaten path, you may be able to fall back on a cell phone and credit card, but you lose a lot less of your precious vacation time if you can fix it in the field.

The short answer is no. The fix a flat stuff is intended for tubeless tires on solid rims, not tires with tubes and spoked wheels. Holes in tubes, even little bitty ones have a tendency to get bigger with time and once they get a certain size, they tear. When that happens, things go flat in a hurry and is something you don't want happening at speed.

The best deterrent to a flat tire on tubed tires is to change the tire before it gets really worn. A good rule of thumb is that 90% of all flats occur in the last 10% of tread life. When a tire is badly worn, there isn't much seperating the air inside the tire from the air outside the tire.

Rather than spend money for a portable air compressor and tire tools, you might be better off spending $30-40 for membership in something like the ROK (Riders of Kawasaki) where membership gets you free road service. I bet there's something similiar for Suzuki riders.

No it won't fix-a-flat is for tubeless tires. a tube needs patched or replaced. if on bike I would replace.

I don't recommend it because if it does not work, you will have a serious mess inside your tire. The preferred is to pack extra tubes. You may also be able to seal up your wheels to use tubeless tires so plugging will be an option.

you can use a can of fix a flat before you go and put a can in each of your tyres now and check pressures before you go this way if you run over nail tyre doesn't go flat you 'd be surprised how many wagons have this stuff in their tyres all the time

No. You have to either patch or replace the tube.

No, it doesn't work like that.
