No but I have never had a fail, pop a valve in if you are worried.

In my days of mousse en I used to put a valve in anyway, this help pop a soft moussed tyre on the rim. Mot man will never notice unless your running a very soft one then he could say your tyre pressures are wrong.

If they're not legal, then you're technically not insured.

not sure how much anyone has had experience of this, but I have been using goop in all my vehicle tyres for the past 10 years.
it stared when I worked in forestry and got a puncture in my van tyre every few months. so I gooped the tyres. never had a puncture after that.
When I got my Peg it seemed the natural thing to do, so I gooped up the tubes. and same thing, never had a puncture, on or off road.
I'm surprised people aren't more into it, but perhaps there is a reason for this I don't know. the relatively low speed of my Peg might mean that higher speeds are inadvisable for such stuff, however 100mph seems quick enough to me!
