Got back from the usual Sunday Ride and noticed a screw in my rear tire of my FJR. After all these years of riding I have only had one flat (in a front tire).

Do I remove the screw and see what happens? Can any tire shop repair with the wheel on or do I have to take a chance on riding it to the dealer 30 miles?

Should I try can of air with sealant? Any help appreciated. :dribble:

If you have a "string type" repair kit, do the repair and ride to the dealership. If no kit, ride to dealership carefully - don't remove screw if tire is holding air.
