TIRE PLUGS AND RIDE ON

Since ride on is water based and tire plugs are solvent rubber cement will a hole that ride on or any sealant sealed keep the plug and rubber glue from holding

Good point. I don't do it that way, I install the plug and inflate the tire with Fix-a-flat and use a 12v air pump to top off the tire. I have used this procedure and it worked for me.

ride on is already in the tire when you picked up the nail or what ever

While more liquid substances like Slime do interfere with plug adhesion, the Ride-On is much less liquid after a time, so hopefully it would not be a problem. It is entirely possible, though, especially with a mushroom plug like the Stop-N-Go. Hopefully, we will never have to find out, since the Ride-On should plug the hole and make use of the rubber plugs unnecessary. Of course I look at this from a biker's point of view. Motorcycle tire plugs are temproary solutions, at best...just enough to get you 50-100 miles to civilization and a new tire. The automotive type Spyder tires should hold a plug more permanently, so plug adhesion is more important.

Haven't had to plug the Can Am but on a previous bike, the mushroom plugs leaked so I went with the sticky plugs and they worked fine. Rode it quite a bit before repairing. The stickies are what I'm carrying in the Can Am along with a 12V pump.
