I have a kit from Aerostitch, but the most important tire repair kit I have is keeping Ride-On Tire Sealant in my tires as a preventative. Beware of Green Slime, it can cause problems with motorcycle wheels.
I've found that the "mushsroom" head plugs work best, but it takes a tool to insert then. Still, it doesn't take up much room, so that's what I carry. Add a small compressor and you're good to go. Otherwise a credit card and a cell phone also works pretty good
I bought a kit at Walmart that includes a patch kit, little compressor and a can of that stuff you put in to get to the next shop. I opted for the smaller compressor and kit because of space. But it should be all I need in an emergency.
Is there a 12 volt cigarette type plug in standard on the RT limited to plug a compressor into?
I have the compressor that will either be used with the cigarette lighter adapter or has alligator clips. I figured I would use the jumper terminals under the seat if I ever have to use it.
2007 M109R LE - To many MODS to list. Its cheaper that way!!!
If you are going for a compressor kit with a cigarette lighter plug be sure to check how many amps the compressor will pull and what amp rating your plug will supply safely. The compressor I use can hook into the battery tender connector so I am not concerned about the power draw.
1. Plug kit
2. Fix A Flat to inflate and help seal the bead and plug and replace the can of Fix A Flat (A.S.A.P.)
3. 12volt air pump to top the tire pressure (35psi rear 25psi front, then adj. to back to normal after 15 min.)
