Ride-On is good stuff. I have been using it for a while and on at least two occasions it has saved me a lot of heart ache. Most recently i picked up a pretty good size screw in Nevada. Pulled it out and it spit a little and sealed right up. Rode 200 miles home and had only lost 2 lbs of air pressure and it was a good size hole (see attached picture) Even when I pulled the pliers in the picture out of the hole it sealed right up. Most of my buddies are running it after seeing this. I cant testify as to how well it balances the tires but they claim it does and I have had no issues with respect to ride quality.

Different games in different regions, but basically yes, if you make sure your coverage includes it. For years my bike was simply covered. Then some years back they split it off required me to get the RV towing for the bike. I also buy the plus or premium or whatever it's called that gives me several hundred miles of free towing. All in all, end up spending nearly $150 a year on the coverage, but it's worthwhile to me, especially for my wife. Her car breaks, they drag it home, I fix it.

Have used it for a couple years now, change my own tires so the added benefit is it balances the wheels/tires also.

Yep, went through that once.
Spent a few hours on side of road waiting for a trailer to come get me.

I carry one of these in the saddlebag now.

I use the compressor/kit from Aerostitch. A bit spendy but has good reviews.
