Knock on wood. I have never had a flat. Guess I’m due. Questions: What are you carrying with you in case of a flat tire? I’ve heard about Green Gue, plugs, 12v air pumps, and so on. Does anything really work? Any recommendations based on experience? I guess that's why you have roadside assistance but who wants to wait 3 or 4 hours out in the middle of nowhere?

 

A simple tire plug kit.
Co2 tire inflator.
Very compact. Takes up no space at all. Haven't had to use it. Hope I don't.

 

yup,a compressor and install some Ride-On in the tires because it not only keeps the tires properly balanced thru their complete srvc life it also protects tubeless tires from up to 1/4" punctures from nails,screws,etc.

BTW,Ride-On can be installed in new tires and or tires that are currently on the bike too as per instructions from the mfg.

When I got one I put a can of fix a flat in it rode slow at first and then checked air pressure and added what was needed. Worked great.

I don't recommend plugging a motorcycle tire.
Woke up on a Sunday morning while on a trip and found the rear almost flat. Adding air found a hole, plugged it hoping to get to the closest dealer over 100 miles away. Plug spit out on the Hiway and put us in the ditch uninjured but not real happy.
Well over half a day wasted between waiting in a trailer and new tire.

 

I've spoked wheels with tubes. This is not a job I can do well on the side of the road. So I carry my AAA card.

 

Does AAA cover motorcycles? I recall in my last reading of the benefits it does't extend to motorcycles....but I've been wrong before.

 

Never heard of Ride-On. Will check it out ... something new every day. Thanks

AAA has an RV/Motorcycle add-on to the Plus or Premier card. Might not be available in Hawaii though. Wasn't when I was growing up there, but check with your local office.

 

I try and not talk about these kinds of things because as soon as you do it happens to you.
