I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?

I’m not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn’t need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don’t want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.

Can you please elaborate? My naive thought is that it’s small enough that I could patch or plug it and be able to at least ride for a few days til I can replace the tire.

In a car, sure, but even in a car if it’s a slice, I would tell you to get a new tire. On a motorcycle, new tire. It’s not worth your life over a few hundred bucks.
