If the bottles I use are 8oz I use half a bottle on each tyre/tube and never had any problems.

I'll check what size the bottles are in the morning and also scan the instructions and post them on here

I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.

I think with 8oz you won't need to put any air in at all :shock: ....solid rubber ;)

One thing to be aware of is the possibility of the vlve becoming clogged. I had to up the pressure in my rear tyre on the way tp Kilarney last year as I needed to accomodate a passenger. Went to the air line but couldn't get any air in so naturally suspected the airline to be faulty and proceded to the next services only now with even less air in. Couln't get any air in there either so decided to remove the valve and a green 'slime' bogey shot out under pressure. Tyre inflated fine after that 8-)

it does give quantities in the packaging and I believe it varies depending on brand. I think Ultraseal takes 6oz, or 6 units, per tyre.

Once filled, I always ensure the valve is at the top and inflate a little before fitting the valve insert, just to clear the way.
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!
