Patching a New Tire

[marsman89]

Hey guys. I have been riding on my 05 FZ6 for about 2 months now :thumbup:. I bought a new set of tires last week and have only put +- 200 miles on them. I looked in the garage today and saw that my back tire was flat, due to a nail a little off center. I don't want to throw away the tire because it is pretty much brand new, so I am looking into getting it patched. I was wondering what is the best patch for the job? Also is this something I can do myself without removing the tire from the rim? I mostly use the bike for commuting 60-80 mph and I live in a very flat part of the U.S. so we don't have many good curvy roads or hills to ride

I ride with a patch in rear tire for 2 years without any issue.
Patching was made by a tire shop. I don't know what material they used.
But i know that, patching should be done from inside.
