If the hole is in a thick part of the tread and it's a simple small puncture, I would. But a lot of folks will tell you that you should never plug a motorcycle tire. Do the research and make an informed decision. It's your safety at stake.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally wornout, shouting..."What a Ride!"
