u have to replace the tire. this is non-negotitable if u want to stay alive on a rocket bike. bike tires flex alot more than car tires, and they're under more stresses than car tires. they CANT safely be plugged. they have to be replaced. a blowout on that bike will kill u. only 2 tires stand between u and the road. if that tire goes, u will have no reaction time before meeting the pavement. get a new tire on it and fast, or find out the hard way what happens to a patched bike tire....if u live, u wont make that mistake twice.

Replace the tire. The amount you spend fixing it isn't worth the chance of a blowout on a motorcycle. A blowout in a car is bad enough, but a blowout on a motorcycle can mean very serious injuries or even death. A new tire usually costs about $100 and that's nothing compared to the risk you are taking 'repairing' the tire. Imagine your tire going flat while you are riding. You don't have a spare, so you'll have to get it towed at least, even if you or the bike doesn't get hurt. Do not cut corners when it comes to a motorcycle.

It depends on if your tire is tube or tubeless. If it is tubeless, then you can buy a repair kit at any auto parts store. Other answers have already covered how it is done. It is easy to do, and it will give you a good seal. If this metal peice is large then you may want to see about getting another tire. This is on a motorcycle, and I will tell you from experience, you do not want a blow out, especially if it is on the front tire.
If the tire has a tube in it, then you will have to remove the tire and have the tube patched. If you do have the tube tire and you have a leak, I would want to get this fixed as soon as possible. The tube tires are more likely to have the blow out.
good luck.

if you can pull the metal piece out you can use a tire repair kit from walmart or auto parts store to seal the leak. Its a piece of rubber and a piece like a screwdriver to stick the rubber into the tire. You can also use fix a flat or a tire shop will do it for 10$ or so.

You can use slime to seal the crack. Or get nitrogen pumped in your tire. It is denser than air and takes a bigger crack to escape though.
